Overview

Pathophysiology

Parasites

  • In general, these parasites enter the body through the skin or by being swallowed.
  • Once inside the body, these parasites travel to the lungs, most often through the blood. There, a similar combination of cellular destruction and immune response causes disruption of oxygen transportation.
