Fig. 1

(A) Chest X-ray film showing an infiltrative shadow in both the middle and lower lung fields mainly in the right lung. (B) and (C) CT scan images showing bilateral multiple intra-pulmonary focal lesions. The most predominant two pulmonary nodules demonstrated mainly in the anterior segment of upper lobe and lateral segment of lower lobe of right lung field respectively.

Histo-pathology of liver biopsy demonstrates. (A) Alteration of the normal architecture of the liver with fatty degeneration of liver cells. Hematoxylin and eosin stain × 40. (B) Multiple eosinophilic granulomas in liver tissues. Hematoxylin and eosin stain × 40. (C) and (D) The larvae appear in the center of the granuloma. Hematoxylin and eosin stain × 40.
