| dc.description.abstract | A 2-year-old Manipuri girl had haemoptysis and a chest roentgenogram disclosed diffuse-infiltrates in the right lung. Microscopic examination of sputum and morning gastric aspirate showed numerous golden-brown, operculated ova, and microscopic examination of stool specimens confirmed these ova to be those of the lung fluke, Paragonimus westermani. She responded favourably to bithionol therapy and was asymptomatic and growing normally during follow up for one and half years. | en_US |
