Summary

Chito myosis is a tropical neglect disease prevalent in endemic areas, often underdiagnosed due to confusion with other conditions. Key challenges include distinguishing active infections and the lack of specific tests for cystosomiasis linked to pulmonary vascular disease. Development of biomarkers and imaging techniques aims to improve diagnosis. Reliable, non-invasive screening tools are crucial, especially in resource-limited settings, as reinfection complicates diagnosis and differentiating from idiopathic pulmonary hypertension is essential.
