RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Pulmonary schistosomiasis resembling acute pulmonary tuberculosis JF European Respiratory Journal JO Eur Respir J FD European Respiratory Society SP 1023 OP 1026 DO 10.1183/09031936.93.04081023 VO 4 IS 8 A1 Schaberg, T A1 Rahn, W A1 Racz, P A1 Lode, H YR 1991 UL https://publications.ersnet.org//content/4/8/1023.abstract AB Pulmonary involvement of schistosomiasis is usually characterized by a miliary mottling or diffuse nodular infiltrates. In most cases, pulmonary involvement is associated with an apparent clinical involvement of other organs. This report describes a 35 yr old patient who developed a cavity, a parenchymatous infiltrate and hilar adenopathy in association with pulmonary schistosomiasis. Schistosoma eggs were demonstrated in transbronchial biopsies from the lung. Pulmonary involvement of schistosomiasis is reviewed and atypical features are discussed, which may lead to diagnostic difficulties, particularly compared to tuberculosis.
