Answer to Case 673

 Answer to theParasite Case of the Week 673:Paragonimusspecies; two adult flukes within lung tissue.You can tell that these are flukes by their loose stroma, thin eosinophilic tegument (outer layer) with prominent spines, and suckers. As noted by Florida Fan, the characteristic eggs (each with a shouldered operculum), along with the location, are helpful in identifying this as aParagonimusspecies. Excellent job!
