Parasitic infection is a severe issue that impacts millions of people around the world. The normal distribution of parasitic illnesses far distant from endemic areas has been altered by immigration and global warming. A wide range of helminthic and protozoan parasitic illnesses can impact the respiratory system. The identification of parasitic infections of the lungs may be delayed due to the wide range of clinical and radiographic manifestations that make diagnosis difficult. Parasitic lung infections affect mainly immunocompetent and immunocompromised persons globally, and they can impact the lung tissue in a variety of ways. Some of these diseases have clinical and radiographic features that are similar to tuberculosis and cancer. In the differential diagnosis of these kind of lung illnesses, parasite infections should be considered. Most parasite disorders of the lungs can be treated medically or surgically if caught early enough. Entamoeba histolytica, Plasmodium falciparum, Trypanosoma gambiense, Ascaris lumbricoides, Strongyloides stercoralis, Dirofilariasis, Echinococcus granulosus, Schistosoma species, Paragonimus westermani, commonly affect the lungs.
