A retrospective clinical analysis of pediatric paragonimiasis in a Chinese children’s hospital from 2011 to 2019

Abstract Diagnosis of pediatric paragonimiasis is difficult because of its non-specific clinical manifestations. We retrospectively reviewed the records of pediatric paragonimiasis in Children’s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2011 to May 2019. The confirmed diagnosis of paragonimiasis was...

We retrospectively reviewed the records of pediatric paragonimiasis in Children’s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2011 to May 2019.

A total of 11 patients (mean age: 7.7 ± 3.1, male–female ratio: 7:4) diagnosed as paragonimiasis were included. 81.8% were from endemic areas such as Sichuan and Yunnan, and 36% had a clear history of raw crab or crayfish consumption. The characteristic clinical features of pediatric paragonimiasis were eosinophilia (100%), pleural effusion (81.8%), hepatomegaly (54.5%), ascites (54.5%), and subcutaneous nodules (45.5%).
