Hemoptysis. (See Illus. Diet.) H., Parasitic, a 

 disease due to the fluke Paragonimus Westermanii, 

 which lodges in the lungs, and exceptionally in other 

 organs. Source of the infection unknown, but analogy 

 with other trematode diseases indicates that the larval 

 stage of the parasite lives in snails and gains access to 

 mammals through the drinking-water. The disease 

 has been observed in man, cats, dogs, and swine in 

 Asia (China, Japan), and in the cat, dog, and hog in 

 the United States. It is more likely to occur in rural 

 districts than in large cities, and has frequently been 

 mistaken for tuberculosis. The diagnosis is made by 

 finding the characteristic ova in the sputum. No 

 specific treatment known. [C. W. Stiles. J
