STUDY OBJECTIVE: @entity9643 is a typical food-borne @entity4801 that is common in Southeast Asia, the Far East, Latin American, and Africa. Recently, however, this disease has been seen in many parts of the world, largely due to increases in the numbers of immigrants and overseas travelers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiologic features of recently diagnosed @entity358 . @entity1 : We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and radiologic characteristics of 36 @entity1 (21 @entity1 and 15 @entity1 ; median age 48 years; range, 19 to 75) with @entity358 whose conditions were diagnosed between October 1994 and September 2004. RESULTS: Thirty-four @entity1 (94%) presented with respiratory symptoms, including hemoptysis (n = 20, 56%) and cough (n = 17, 47%). However, @entity662 (n = 5, 14%) and @entity221 (n = 5, 14%) were less frequently reported. Chest radiography revealed intrapulmonary parenchymal lesions (n = 26, 72%), such as nodules (n = 14, 39%), linear @entity231 (n = 6, 17%), and airspace consolidations (n = 4, 11%), which occurred more commonly than did @entity456 (n = 10, 28%). Most cases were initially suspected to be @entity2 or @entity378 . In 13 @entity1 with intrapulmonary parenchymal lesions who underwent bronchoscopy, bronchial luminal narrowing, coupled with congested or @entity4 mucosal changes, was seen in 7 @entity1 (54%). Bronchial mucosal biopsy specimens exhibited @entity32 with eosinophilic infiltrations in three of these seven @entity1 (43%). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that @entity1 with @entity358 presented with a variety of clinical and radiologic findings that were different from the classic presentations reported earlier, frequently mimicking those of @entity2 or @entity378 .
