Hepatic paragonimiasis: a single-center retrospective analysis of 32 cases in Mainland China

摘要

BackgroundIn paragonimiasis, the lungs and pleural cavity are the major target organs, and the central nervous system can also be affected. The liver is an organ in which ectopic paragonimiasis rarely occurs. Because the symptoms and examinations in hepatic paragonimiasis (HP) are not typical, the disease is often misdiagnosed in the clinic.
