In Southeast Asia, <jats:italic>Paragonimus heterotremus<\/jats:italic> is the only proven causative pathogen. Recently, a new <jats:italic>Paragonimus<\/jats:italic> species, <jats:italic>P. pseudoheterotremus<\/jats:italic>, was found in Thailand. This species is genetically similar to <jats:italic>P. heterotremus<\/jats:italic> and is considered as a sister species. However, infectivity or pathogenicity of <jats:italic>P. pseudoheterotremus<\/jats:italic> to humans remains unclear. We report the first confirmed human pulmonary paragonimiasis case caused by <jats:italic>P. pseudoheterotremus<\/jats:italic> infection. After polymerase chain reaction\/sequencing of the DNA extracted from <jats:italic>Paragonimus<\/jats:italic> eggs in the sputum of the patient, partial internal transcribed spacer 2 and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 sequences were approximately identical (98\u2013100%) with those of <jats:italic>P. pseudoheterotremus<\/jats:italic>. For <jats:italic>P. heterotremus<\/jats:italic>, the partial internal transcribed spacer 2 sequence was approximately identical (99\u2013100%), but the partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 sequence showed a similarity of 90\u201395%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2012.12-0235","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,21]],"date-time":"2012-09-21T15:15:22Z","timestamp":1348240522000},"page":"706-709","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Molecular Identification of a Case of Paragonimus pseudoheterotremus Infection in Thailand"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Pewpan M.","family":"Intapan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oranuch","family":"Sanpool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tongjit","family":"Thanchomnang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanokwan","family":"Imtawil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chatlert","family":"Pongchaiyakul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yukifumi","family":"Nawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wanchai","family":"Maleewong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Adv Parasitol","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1016\/S0065-308X(08)60149-9","article-title":"Paragonimiasis and the genus Paragonimus","volume":"42","author":"Blair","year":"1999"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"Food-Borne Parasitic Zoonoses.
