Bronchodilator Reversibility Occurring during the Acute Phase of Paragonimiasis westermani Infection
A 43-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with peripheral blood hypereosinophilia and abnormal chest X-ray findings. Her pleural effusion revealed hypereosinophilia and a low glucose level. She was diagnosed with pulmonary paragonimiasis based on an elevated antibody level of Paragonimiasis w...

description | A 43-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with peripheral blood hypereosinophilia and abnormal chest X-ray findings. Her pleural effusion revealed hypereosinophilia and a low glucose level. She was diagnosed with pulmonary paragonimiasis based on an elevated antibody level of Paragonimiasis westermani. Although she had no medical history of allergic disorders, a pulmonary function test revealed bronchodilator reversibility. After praziquantel therapy, her symptoms, hypereosinophilia in peripheral blood, and pleural effusion were improved. A repeated pulmonary function test after praziquantel therapy showed a negative bronchodilator response. Pulmonary paragonimiasis may induce bronchodilator reversibility during the acute phase of infection. |
