ABSTRACT
A 47-year-old man presented with bloody sputum and a cavitary mass shadow was formed in his right middle lobe. Transbronchial lung biopsy revealed the presence of parasite eggs and eosinophil infiltration. Based on the positive reaction against Westermani Paragonimus by multiple dot ELISA, Westermani Paragonimiasis was diagnosed. The cavitary mass shadow disappeared after the treatment with Pragiquantel. This is a rare case of Westermani Paragonimiasis showing interesting changes of chest CT findings during its clinical course.
