Molecular proof for Lophomonas infection in a patient with history of breast cancer

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
We report a patient with a history of breast cancer with a 1‐week complaint of at rest dyspnea. Chest computed tomography scan revealed consolidations in the upper lobe of both lungs. Bronchoscopy was performed for the patient and Lophomonas parasite was detected.

Molecular evidence of upper and lower respiratory infection due to Lophomonas in a post‐kidney transplantation patient

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022
Lophomoniais in patients with a history of kidney post‐transplant infection who have symptoms of acute sinusitis and tonsillitis that do not respond to standard antibiotic regimens should be screened. Abstract We report a case of lophomoniasis in a kidney post‐transplantation patient.

First report of Lophomonas infection in a patient with AML‐2 from Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf, southern Iran

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022
We report the first case of pulmonary lophomoniasis in a known case of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML‐2) from Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf, southern Iran. Diagnosis of lophomoniasis was confirmed using microscopy and molecular examinations of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The patient was treated with metronidazole (500 mg TDS for 3 weeks). We conclude that

Global Status of Emerging Lophomonas Infection: A Systematic Review of Reported Cases (1993—2020)

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Purpose. Lophomonas spp., is an emerging protozoan parasite that belongs to the Parabasalids (Parabasalia, lophomonadida) which infects the respiratory tracts of humans. Despite the presence of a few reports of human lophomoniasis, the true burden of Lophomonas infection is unknown.

Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Mimicking Both Tuberculous Cavity and Aspergilloma: A Diagnostic Challenge in an Endemic Region. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a zoonotic disease endemic in many pastoral regions. Pulmonary involvement, although less common than hepatic, may present with nonspecific respiratory symptoms and mimic other pathologies such as tuberculosis, posing a diagnostic challenge.
