Diagnosis of parasitic lung diseases is often difficult as their
clinical manifestations can mimic common respiratory illnesses and
routine tests can fail to detect the infections. "Parasitic
Diseases of the Lungs" is designed as a practical guide for
pathologists who encounter parasitic diseases of the lung in their
daily routine. The book comprises eight chapters. After discussion
of the handling of lung biopsies from patients with suspected
parasitic disease, individual chapters focus on Protozoa, Nematoda,
Trematoda, and Cestoda. The morphologic patterns associated with
various parasitic infections are then analyzed, and differentiation
between artifacts and parasites is discussed. The final chapter is
devoted to the immunocompromised patient and covers general
principles of histologic evaluation, parasites associated with HIV
and AIDS, and the features of diffuse alveolar damage.
