[Pulmonary paragonimiasis in Cameroun (author's transl)].
The clinical and epidemiological features of pulmonary paragonimiasis are first described. Then, a brief and localized survey is reported in which 19 cases were detected. The disease has probably a higher prevalence than generally estimated. Eating raw or insufficiently cooked crab meat is the main cause of infection. Treatment is easy and so should be the prophylaxis.
