Overview
Many patients have a spectrum of abnormalities on chest radiographs: lobar infiltrates, coin lesions, cavities, calcified nodules, hilar enlargement, pleural thickening and effusions. Ring-shaped opacities of contiguous cavities giving the characteristic appearance of a bunch of grapes are highly suggestive of pulmonary paragonimiasis.
