==Overview==
==Treatment==
A variety of parasites can affect the lungs. It is a rare cause of [[pneumonia]], occurring almost exclusively in [[immunodeficiency|immunocompromised]] persons, such as persons suffering from [[AIDS]]. This is a Respiratory infection that may or may not be serious.


There are a variety of parasites which can affect the lungs. In general, these parasites enter the body through the [[skin]] or by being swallowed. Once inside the body, these parasites travel to the [[lung]]s, most often through the [[blood]]. There, a similar combination of cellular destruction and immune response causes disruption of [[oxygen]] transportation. One type of white blood cell, the [[eosinophil]], responds vigorously to parasite infection. Eosinophils in the lungs can lead to[[eosinophilic pneumonia]], thus complicating the underlying parasitic pneumonia. The most common parasites involved: [[Toxoplasma gondii]], [[Strongyloides stercoralis]],[[Ascariasis]], [[Hookworm]]
