    Journal: J Parasitol; 1991 Aug; 77(4):635-7. PubMed ID: 1865274.
    Abstract:
    The cell content of the peritoneal exudate was examined 4 days after an intraperitoneal injection of glycogen in uninfected and Paragonimus westermani-infected guinea pigs. In uninfected animals a reduction in macrophage count and an accumulation of granulocytes in the exudate were observed at 3 and 6 hr after an intraperitoneal injection of purified neutral thiol protease from P. westermani metacercariae. No such effect occurred after the enzyme was injected into infected animals. At 9 hr after enzyme injection, vacuoles were found in the cytoplasm of macrophages in uninfected animals.
