Praziquantel is the treatment of choice for Schistosoma haematobium infection in the United States. However, trichlorfon may be the preferred treatment in areas of endemic disease where praziquantel is too expensive. [nejm.org]

Control is reliant on annual mass-treatment programmes, with little prospect of an anti-infection vaccine. [findaphd.com]

The prognosis of schistosomiasisassociated PAH is not well understood and is likely very similar to that of idiopathic PAH. [phassociation.org]

What is the prognosis (outcome) for schistosomiasis? Early antiparasitic treatment, especially with acute schistosomiasis, may allow people to recover completely without developing chronic disease. [medicinenet.com]

If someone is also infected with malaria, HIV, or hepatitis, there is a worse prognosis. Can schistosomiasis be prevented? People who travel to areas affected by schistosomiasis should avoid exposure to fresh water that is likely to be contaminated. [patient.info]
