Microhematuria was present in 33% of PSAC and 42% of SAC and leukocyturia in 53% and 40% of PSAC and SAC, respectively. 50% (64/128) of PSAC and 58% (71/122) of SAC presented urinary tract morbidity, which was mainly mild. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pathologist

  Since it is probable that with the increase in the number of immigrants to Europe from endemic countries (sub-Saharan Africa in particular) other similar cases may occur, it is important that the surgeon and the pathologist be aware of this pathology, [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Schistosomiasis was originally called bilharziasis in homage to Theodor Bilharz, a young German pathologist who first described the disease and its association with Schistosoma worms whilst working in Cairo, Egypt. [cancercontrol.info]

• Pseudotumor

  A biopsy specimen of this pseudotumoral specimen showed many Schistosoma haematobium eggs with an inflammatory reaction surrounding the eggs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Recurrent Infection

  However, because pre-school infection [ 4 – 6 ] and recurrent infection during childhood [ 7, 8 ] are associated with significant risk for disease, optimal disease prevention can occur only when parasite infection or reinfection can be effectively blocked [doi.org]

• Aspiration

  After suprapubic aspiration, the cause of the obstructive uropathy was found to be several mature live worms of Schistosoma haematobium. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Regurgitation

  Schistosome circulating anodic and cathodic antigens (CAA and CCA, respectively) are glycosaminoglycan-like carbohydrates regurgitated from the gut of live schistosome worms into the host bloodstream ( 8 ). [frontiersin.org]

• Lacrimation

  An 11-year-old boy from Sierra Leone developed a mass in the left lacrimal gland a year after trauma to the left side of the brow. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Microscopic Hematuria

  The sensitivity and specificity, respectively, for diagnosing S. haematobium compared with microscopy was: 74% and 72% for the shake test; 61% and 97% for microscopic hematuria; and 43% and 83% for proteinuria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Symptoms associated with genital schistosomiasis are dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, leucorrhea, lower abdominal pain, and intermenstrual bleeding. 8 This patient presented with signs and symptoms of microscopic hematuria and pain in the left lumbar and abdominal [academic.oup.com]

• Urethral Discharge

  The diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of gram-negative intracellular diplococci in the urethral discharge and of characteristic terminal spined Schistosoma haematobium ova in the urine, as well as by the favorable clinical response to treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Testicular Mass

  Described genital manifestations in men include funiculitis, epididymitis, granulomata of the seminal vesicles, testicular masses, and prostate lesions which may cause haematospermia and infertility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Incontinence

  A case of seronegative urinary Schistosomiasis is reported in a 68-year-old Caucasian male presenting with urgency of micturition and incontinence several months after bathing in a chlorinated pool of a first class hotel in Egypt. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Subsequently, the patient was referred to our institution for further workup. Upon presentation to our institute, the patient's temperature was 36.8 C, his pulse was 60 beats per minute (bpm), and his blood pressure was 120/70 mm Hg. [jcm.asm.org]

• Prostatic Lesion

  Described genital manifestations in men include funiculitis, epididymitis, granulomata of the seminal vesicles, testicular masses, and prostate lesions which may cause haematospermia and infertility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Leukocytes Decreased

  At follow-up, 6 months after systematic antischistosomiasis and STI syndrome treatment at baseline, the prevalence of seminal leukocytes decreased significantly among the previously seminal egg-positive subjects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

  Sexually transmitted infection (STI) with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and/or Trichomonas vaginalis did not act as a confounding factor for the observed associations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The superior performance of PCR before, and two and 18 months post-treatment provides a compelling argument for PCR as an accurate and reproducible tool for monitoring treatment efficacy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This might be because immature worms at first treatment were not killed and reached their maturity stage after treatment had been done. Thus, new mature worms would have produced viable eggs after the treatment. [doi.org]

Bladder tumours of non-S. haematobium etiology and normal urothelium were used as controls. S. haematobium-associated benign/pre-malignant lesions present alterations in p53 and sLex that were also found in bladder tumors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Schistosoma haematobiumis the etiologic agent for urogenital schistosomiasis, a major source of morbidity and mortality for more than 112 million people worldwide. [bio-protocol.org]

This parasite is considered an important factor in the etiology of carcinoma of the bladder. The ova are elongated and are 60 X 160 microns. They are a yellowish color, slightly transparent, and possess a delicate terminal spine. [labce.com]

BACKGROUND: The pathophysiology of female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is only partially understood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient had never received preventive chemotherapy with praziquantel. After suprapubic aspiration, the cause of the obstructive uropathy was found to be several mature live worms of Schistosoma haematobium. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
