1986~1998年间，我们发现104例肺吸虫病患者，这些病例被转至我室进行免疫诊断或在痰或支气管镜下涂片或组织病理切片中鉴定寄生虫卵。大多数患者是中年男性。除2例慢性隐匿性感染发生在意想不到的部位外，其余102例均为活动性感染。超过80%的患者胸片有异常发现，但其中约20%的患者没有症状。在痰或支气管镜下吸出的涂片中，寄生虫卵的检测率约为50%。约80%的患者有嗜酸性粒细胞增多症和/或血清IgE水平升高。并殖吸虫病是日本九州再次出现的公共卫生问题。
During 1986-1998 we found 104 paragonimiasis cases, which were referred to our laboratory for immunodiagnosis or identification of parasite eggs in sputum or bronchoscopic aspirate smears, or in histopathological sections. A majority of patients were middle-aged males. Except for 2 cases of chronic occult infection in an unexpected site, 102 cases were assumed as having active infection. Abnormal findings in chest radiograms were noted over 80% of the patients, though about 20% of them were asymptomatic. Parasite egg detection rates in sputum or bronchoscopic aspirate smears were about 50%. About 80% of patients have eosinophilia and/or elevated serum IgE level. Paragonimiasis is a re-emerging public health issue in Kyushu, Japan.
