Morphological and molecular characterization of
Paragonimus caliensis Little, 1968 (Trematoda:Paragonimidae) from Medellin and Pichinde, Colombia.
A rather rare finding in pulmonary imaging, the cavity formation may result from bacterial infections such as microaerophilic streptococci, viridans streptococci, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, Acinetobacter species, Escherichia coli, Legionella species, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Nocardia asteroides, mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, nontuberculous mycobacteria and Mycobacterium avium complex, fungi such as Cryptococcus neoformans, Coccidioides, Aspergillus and mucormycosis, parasites such as
Paragonimus westermani and Echinococcus genus, and viral infections such as papilloma virus [1,2].

IgG to other parasites including
Paragonimus westermani , Paragonimiasis sichuanensis , Schistosoma japonicum , and Spirometra mansoni were all negative.
rDNA sequences of
Paragonimus westermani (AF040935.1) were used as an outgroup.
More recently elevated serum IgG4 levels were reported in two cases of pulmonary
Paragonimus westermani infection [9].
It is known that this crab species is recognized as a secondary intermediate host of
Paragonimus genus (lung fluke) for mammals, including human beings as the final host.
([dagger]) Other agents implicated were tetrodotoxin (3 outbreaks) and Campylobacter, chaconine,
Paragonimus, other virus, sulfite, and Trichinella (1 outbreak each).
Paragonimiasis is an infection caused by lung flukes of the genus
Paragonimus. In Asia, P.
Zoonotic: consumption trematodiases Clonorchis, Opisthorchis, of raw/poorly cooked Fasciola, and food
Paragonimus Human African Trypanosoma parasite By bites of infected trypanosomiasis sp.
Similarly, among trematodes prevalence of Fasciola was found highest (2.09%) and
Paragonimus was found to be the lowest (0.45%).
