A member asked:
I have intestinal worms and on medication for them. i know it's uncommon for them to get to the lungs, but if they are will a chest x-ray show them?

Yes: Classically, pulmonary involvement as a result of parasitic infection reveals consolidation similar to pneumonia. The combination of history and lab findings clue one into the diagnosis. Given that you have already started therapy it is less likely that you will develop pulmonary involvement; but check often with your physician throughout your therapeutic course.
