Case report details diagnosis and management of paragonimiasis in a nonendemic area, highlighting practical challenges.
Paragonimiasis is a parasitic infection endemic in the northeastern states of India. Because the infection is largely restricted to endemic areas, suspecting and establishing a diagnosis are challenging in nonendemic areas. Here, we describe a rare case of paragonimiasis in a nonendemic area. We highlight the importance of meticulous history as well as the practical issues in establishing the diagnosis. We also describe the management and outcome of the patient.
