Title
Pulmonary paragonimiasis with expectoration of worms: A case report
A 40-year old Thai farmer with pulmonary paragonimiasis was treated with Praziquantel 25 mg/kg body weight, 3 times after meals for one day. On follow-up treatment during hospitalization he coughed up 7 adult lung flukes. The worms were identified as Paragonimus heterotremus. This is probably the first case report to demonstrate adult mature Paragonimus coughed up from man.
