Extra-pulmonary paragonimiasis is rarely seen in humans, as the worms nearly exclusively migrate to the lungs.

Paragonimiasis caused by infection with lung flukes, mostly of the species Paragonimus westermani.

Finally, antibody detection is useful in light infections and in the diagnosis of extrapulmonary paragonimiasis.

Praziquantel has been used to effectively treat paragonimiasis by separating the tegument with a high cure rate of 100% after three days of treatment.

Consequently, several types of crabs were collected from markets and streams in a paragonimiasis endemic area for the inspection of metacercariae and were identified as the second intermediate host of the Paragonimus species.

World wide, approximately nine species of Paragonimus are known to cause paragonimiasis in which many of the species reside in East Asia, West Africa, and in North and South America.

Chronic pulmonary paragonimiasis, the most common clinical pattern, is frequently mild, with chronic cough, brown-tinged sputum (the color being caused by expectorated clusters of reddish brown eggs rather than by blood) and true hemoptysis.

The most common parasites implicated are Angiostrongylus cantonensis, Gnathostoma spinigerum, Schistosoma, as well as the conditions cysticercosis, toxocariasis, baylisascariasis, paragonimiasis, and a number of rarer infections and noninfective conditions.
