Abstract
Two cases of paragonimiasis have been reported from Srisangval Hospital, Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand. These two patients (Thai-Karen) resided in Nam-Piang-Din, Mae Hong Son. The preliminary survey for epidemiological data in Nam-Piang-Din, Mae Hong Son revealed that most of Thai-Karen villagers had the habit of eating raw crabs and fresh water prawns. A survey for intermediate and reservoir hosts are still in progress and this area can be considered as an additional area for paragonimiasis in Thailand.
