Abstract

Pleuropulmonary
infections are not uncommon in tropical and subtropical countries. Its
distribution and prevalence in developed nations has been curtailed by various
successfully implemented preventive health measures and geographic conditions.
In few low and middle income nations, pulmonary parasitic infections still
remain a problem, although not rampant. With increase in immunocompromised
patients in these regions, there has been an upsurge in parasites isolated and
reported in the recent past. J Microbiol
Infect Dis 2018; 8(4):165-179
