Abstract

Pulmonary eosinophilia Schistosomiasis Pulmonary schistosomiasis Acute schistosomiasis
Acute pulmonary schistosomiasis affects non-immune individuals returning from endemic areas. Pathogenesis is not well understood. We report a case of acute pulmonary schistosomiasis in which lung biopsy was done 10 weeks after exposure and it identified the presence of schistosomal ovum surrounded by granuloma.
