Presentation
A case of cutaneous paragonimiasis presented with minimal pleuritis. [tropicalparasitology.org]
Pulmonary lesions are pleural or parenchymal, or both may be present. [doi.org]
Radiologically, may be presented as consolidation, pleural effusion, and other nonspecific abnormalities. [lungindia.com]
The present study also revealed the considerable genetic variation of the P. skrjabini complex and its possible distribution in other countries. [researchgate.net]
[…] as not having typical clinical symptoms, but repeatedly presenting with migrated lesions between the lung and pleura. [ijpmonline.org]

High Fever
Although cases of P. skrjabini infection can exhibit early symptoms such as abdominal pain, a lack of appetite, and high fever, it can also come on slowly and fail to exhibit identifiable symptoms for a period of latency between 20 days to as long as [en.wikipedia.org]
-
Swelling
Physical examination revealed no abnormal findings except a diffuse subcutaneous swelling on the left posterior chest wall which was detected incidentally. [tropicalparasitology.org]
Ectopic paragonimiasis has been reported as an uncommon cause of infertility secondary to fallopian tube obstruction in women and of marked swelling of the scrotum in men ( 59, 151 ). Cerebral paragonimiasis has primarily two manifestations. [doi.org]

Anorexia
He only complained of anorexia, marasmus, fatigue, and occasional headache. It was doubtful that he had a parasite infection due to the marked peripheral blood eosinophilia and dietary history. [ijpmonline.org]
Gastrointestinal
-
Abdominal Pain
The pericarditis type is associated with shortness of breath and palpitation while the abdominal type infections lead to diarrhea and abdominal pain. P. skrjabini has shown no effect on mammalian reproductive abilities. [en.wikipedia.org]
-
Vomiting
Infections of the pleurisy type, for instance, exhibit symptoms like chest pain and cough while the cerebral type tends to result in vomiting and headaches. [en.wikipedia.org]
-
Diarrhea
The pericarditis type is associated with shortness of breath and palpitation while the abdominal type infections lead to diarrhea and abdominal pain. P. skrjabini has shown no effect on mammalian reproductive abilities. [en.wikipedia.org]

Palpitations
The pericarditis type is associated with shortness of breath and palpitation while the abdominal type infections lead to diarrhea and abdominal pain. P. skrjabini has shown no effect on mammalian reproductive abilities. [en.wikipedia.org]

Subcutaneous Mass
Infections and the resulting set of symptoms can be classified under five different types including the subcutaneous mass type, cerebral type, pericarditis type, abdominal type, and pleurisy type. [en.wikipedia.org]

Suggestibility
Moreover, low bootstrap values in the CO1 tree suggested that more variant genotypes belonging to P. skrjabini complex may be found in other Asian countries in between Vietnam and India, such as Myanmar, Laos and Thailand. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Often, multiple species of Paragonimus can be found coexisting in one crustacean, suggesting that metacercariae of different species do not compete with each other within the host. [en.wikipedia.org]
Data on the use of triclabendazole in pregnant women are limited, although the available evidence suggests low risk for congenital anomalies. [cdc.gov]

Confusion
P. macrorchis Chen, 1962 has probably been confused with P. skrjabiniin China. Within China, the former probably occurs only on Hainan Island, although P. fukienensis Tang & Tang, 1962 from Fujian Province could be a synonym. [doi.org]
Here we present a case of cutaneous paragonimiasis in a child because of its rarity and diagnostic confusion with other causes of benign subcutaneous swellings. [tropicalparasitology.org]

Treatment
Human Paragonimiasis skrjabini manifests as a complex set of clinical symptoms, which may result in misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Dr. Kongzhen Gu Dr. [trematode.net]
[…] consist of collecting samples of crabs to analyze how metacercarie is distributed in the body, purposefully infecting dogs in order to extract worms from it to later examine under a microscope, and various other tests and assays. [7] Prevention and Treatment [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis
Not surprisingly, patients with cerebral paragonimiasis have a much poorer prognosis than patients with pleuropulmonary disease. [doi.org]
Etiology
Paragonimus skrjabini is a unique species found in China and the main etiological agent of extrapulmonary paragonimiasis in human. [trematode.net]
When told of this finding in one of his former patients, Patrick Manson suspected that this fluke might be the etiology of the benign hemoptysis be encountered so often in his practice in Amoy, China. [isradiology.org]
The common signs and symptoms, such as shortness of breath because of lung compression, associated with a hemo- or pneumothorax of whatever etiology will also be present in patients with paragonimiasis who have these manifestations of disease. [doi.org]
