Disease relevance of Paragonimiasis

 

High impact information on Paragonimiasis

  • A possible role of TARC in antigen-specific Th2-dominant responses in patients with Paragonimiasis westermani [6].
  • Immunoblot and immunocapture assays using anti-human IgE monoclonal antibody showed that the proteinase allergens were reactive with specific IgE of patients with paragonimiasis westermani [7].
  • PATIENTS: Pulmonary paragonimiasis was diagnosed in 13 patients at the Third Department of Internal Medicine, Miyazaki Medical College between 1993 and 1999 [8].
  • Thus, the cysteine protease in the ESP of PwNEM could provide a novel role to control recruitment of inflammatory cells in larval-infected lesions in human paragonimiasis [9].
  • The antibody could be readily used to prepare an affinity-purified antigen for use in an indirect ELISA that was highly sensitive and specific for the detection of circulating antibody in sera of paragonimiasis patients [10].

Anatomical context of Paragonimiasis

 

Gene context of Paragonimiasis

  • Only the 31.5 kD component was recognized by all 32 paragonimiasis sera [17].
  • There was remarkable agreement among the methods and it was concluded that the LAT could be a useful serodiagnostic technique for paragonimiasis, especially in field surveys [5].
  • We report a Laotian patient with pleural paragonimiasis who did not have the usual diagnostic triad for this parasitic disease [18].
  • Soluble CD23 and IL-5 levels in the serum and culture supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in a girl with cutaneous paragonimiasis: case report [19].
  • CONCLUSION: In addition to the two previously described paragonimiasis foci of Kupe mountain and Mundani, the identification of autochthonous cases of paragonimiasis in the peri-urban zone of Kumba town, makes the South West Province the most endemic zone of paragonimiasis in Cameroon at present [20].
