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.
