TROPICAL LUNG
PULMONARY SCHISTOSOMIASIS
Risk factors
Direct contact with contaminated water contaminated with human feces infected by the parasite, due to domestic, work or recreational activities
Main symptoms
Acute pulmonary schistosomiasis
Asymptomatic
Chronic schistosomiasis
Hypertensive portal
Granuloma and pulmonary hypertension
Bleeding in the stool
Abdominal pain
Pathogenic agent
Schistosoma mansoni
Chest imaging findings
Radiographs may show dilated pulmonary arteries and arteriovenous abnormalities
HISTOPLASMOSIS
Risk factors
Children under two years of age, people with compromised immune systems and older adults, diabetes and chronic lung disease
Chest imaging findings
Local infiltrate with hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy that may calcify
Pathogenic agent
Histoplasma capsulatum
Main symptoms
fever, malaise, headache, myalgia, anorexia, nonproductive cough, chest pain, hilar thickening, mediastinal thickening. Erythema nodosum and multiforme may occur

and
C. posadasii
Risk factors

PARAGONIMIASIS
Pathogenic agent
Approximately 16 species have been reported to cause disease in humans
Most common:
Paragonimus westermani

Pathogenic agent
P. brasiliensis
Chest imaging findings
Bilateral interstitial alveolar pattern in middle and lower fields
Risk factors
age, gender, poor hygiene, occupation, malnutrition, tabacco and alcohol consumption
