Objective:
To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of paragonimiasis, so as to improve the prevention and treatment of it.
Methods:
The clinical data of paragonimiasis patients were collected and retrospectively analyzed.
Results:
Totally 17 patients were diagnosed as paragonimiasis and the main clinical features of 11 patients were cough, chest pain and fever, and the pleural effusion was found in 13 cases. Peripheral blood eosinophil percentages of all patients were significantly increased, and the detections of antibody IgG againstParagonimus parasite of ELISA method were positive in all patients. All the patients were cured after praziquantel treatment and no recurrence found in the follow-up visit.
Conclusions:
The clinical features of paragonimiasis patients are diverse, and pleural effusion is quite common in imaging examinations. The eosinophil percentages and antibody detections have important values for the diagnosis of paragonimiasis. Praziquantel is an effective medicine in the treatment.
