• Camping

  Locally acquired Paragonimus kellicotti infestations are most common in young men who become infected with the organism following consumption of raw crayfish while camping or on a river float trip. [clinlabnavigator.com]

  Patients consumed raw crayfish while on float (recreational river) trips (7/9, 77.8%), camping (1/9, 11.1%), or as a demonstration of wilderness survival skills (1/9, 11.1%). [wwwnc.cdc.gov]

  To ensure timely treatment, anyone who presents with hemoptysis, eosinophilia, fever, and suspicious infiltrates on imaging and has a history of consuming crayfish while taking camping or river trips in Midwestern rivers should be tested for paragonimiasis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Recurrent Pleural Effusion

  This patient also underwent decortication because of recurrent pleural effusions. One patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy after having right upper quadrant pain. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]

• Weight Gain

  One atypical patient with chronic paragonimiasis who also had preexisting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease did not notice much improvement in his chronic dyspnea after praziquantel treatment, but defervescence and a weight gain of 30 pounds represented [wwwnc.cdc.gov]

• Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy

  An x-ray of the chest and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) revealed fibrosis with traction bronchiectasis in the left upper lobe (LUL) [Figure 1], with few discrete nodules in both upper lobes [Figure 2], mediastinal lymphadenopathy (maximum [lungindia.com]

  Other common imaging findings include pleural effusion, pleural thickening, a mass or consolidation, and mediastinal and/or hilar lymphadenopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Right Upper Quadrant Pain

  One patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy after having right upper quadrant pain. This finding may have been related to parasite migration across the diaphragm because the gallbladder did not show any pathologic changes. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]

• Suggestibility

  In raccoons with pleural adhesions massive fibroplasia with eosinophil infiltration beneath the pulmonary pleura suggested a reaction to a migrating parasite entering the lung from the thoracic cavity. [bioone.org]

  The morphologic features of the eggs in the biopsy coupled with a history of eating uncooked/undercooked crayfish were highly suggestive of paragonimiasis caused by P. kellicotti, the North American lung fluke. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Meningism

  We describe the first 2 cases of eosinophilic meningitis due to Paragonimus kellicotti. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Left Pleural Effusion

  A CT scan showed a mass/area of consolidation in the left upper lobe of his lung along with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a left pleural effusion (Figure 1). A bronchoscopy was nondiagnostic, so a CT guided biopsy was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pulmonary Infiltrate

  Later, once the worms are reproducing in the lung tissue, pulmonary infiltrates and hemoptysis occur, the sputum containing dark brown eggs. [web.stanford.edu]

  On chest radiographs, the most common findings are pleural effusion, pulmonary infiltrates, and calcifications, but, in some cases (up to 40% in one study), no abnormality is seen [6, 7]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pleural Adhesions

  In raccoons with pleural adhesions massive fibroplasia with eosinophil infiltration beneath the pulmonary pleura suggested a reaction to a migrating parasite entering the lung from the thoracic cavity. [bioone.org]

Antibody reactivity declined after praziquantel treatment. Thus, the P. kellicotti WB appears to be superior to P. westermani WB for diagnosing Pk infections, and it may be useful for assessing responses to treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Antibody reactivity declined after praziquantel treatment. [ajtmh.org]

All patients in this series were treated with praziquantel for 2–3 days, and 7 (77.8%) experienced rapid clinical improvement or cure after treatment. One patient had some residual dyspnea and chest tightness 4 weeks after treatment. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]

If the patient had possessed cancer with advanced metastasis, the opportunity for surgery would have been lost and the patient would receive a poor prognosis ( 11 ). [spandidos-publications.com]
