RESUMO
Lophomonas infection is an emerging parasitic disease causing respiratory infections. After China, Peru is the second country with the highest number of cases. In the bright-field microscopy evaluation of fresh samples, most of them are incorrectly estimated. Therefore, correct identification using cytological stains is to be supplemented. We report a case of a 29-year-old male with typical clinical symptoms of pneumonia, marked eosinophilia, and noninfiltrative pattern in chest X-ray, who had bronchopulmonary lophomoniasis.
