Snapshot
- A 15-year-old boy presents to the emergency room for a 2-month history of shortness of breath on exertion and cough. He recently moved from Laos to the United States for school. He reports having an unintentional 8-lb weight loss in the past few months, occasional fevers, and night sweats. He also reports having occasional hemoptysis. Prior to immigrating, he had a normal tuberculin skin test. A chest radiograph shows a linear streak and right-sided consolidation. A sputum sample is procured and sent for microscopy, which demonstrates oval-shaped eggs. (Paragonimiasis)
