Presentation
Comparison between measurements of the eggs of S. haematobium, S. intercalatum and S. bovis eggs are presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case presentation A 30-year-old man from Senegal was admitted to hospital for investigation of renal failure, arterial hypertension, and hypereosinophilia. The patient reported intermittent abdominal pain and pruritus with no skin rash. [kundoc.com]
Entire Body System
- Amyloidosis
[…] glomerulonephritis, class III (membranoproliferative) and class IV (focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis) cover the majority of patients with progressive disease, and are often associated with abnormalities in serum IgA components,12 and class V is systemic amyloidosis [kundoc.com]
Skin
- Papule
A few hours to days after cercariae invade the skin, some people experience pruritus and raised papules at the site of penetration. This is called cercarial dermatitis, also known as swimmer's itch. [en.wikipedia.org]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
Histological results from laboratory passaged hybrids suggest that the Ziehl-positive staining reaction of the egg-shells of S. intercalatum may be a recessive character. [planetaryhealthalliance.org]
This observation suggests that S. intercalatum prolongs Salmonella infection, as do other species of schistosomes. The concomitant treatment of both infections is recommended. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Confusion
Among the confusion bias identified, none of the helminthiasis in Bata are risk factors. The risk factors of the infection have been searched with an interrogatory. [wwww.unboundmedicine.com]
Workup
• Neuroimaging, serology, molecular testing, and biopsy can all be important components of the diagnostic workup for neuroschistosomiasis. • Antischistosomal drugs, corticosteroids, and surgery are useful for treating neuroschistosomiasis. [medlink.com]
Microbiology
- Salmonella Typhi
Abstract Twenty-five African children from Libreville had concomitant typhoid or paratyphoid fever (Salmonella typhi, 4 children; Salmonella paratyphi A, 1; S. paratyphi B, 5; S. paratyphi C, 15) and Schistosoma intercalatum infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Abstract Twenty-five African children from Libreville had concomitant typhoid or paratyphoid fever ( Salmonella typhi, 4 children; Salmonella paratyphi A, 1; S. paratyphi B, 5; s. paratyphi C, 15) and Schistosoma intercalatum infection. [ajtmh.org]
Schistosomal eggs were present in the rectal mucosa of 48 (90.6%) of these 53 patients, in 11 (64.7%) of 17 patients with septicemia due to Salmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi, and in 21 (38.2%; p < .001) of 55 controls. [popline.org]
Treatment

The concomitant treatment of both infections is recommended. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nigeria is the most endemic country for schistosomiasis, with approximately 20 million people — mostly children — needing treatment. [cartercenter.org]

The high creatinine level was not modified after the antihelminthic treatment. [kundoc.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Cure rates for oral medical treatment range from 70-100%, depending on the drug used. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Schistosoma intercalatum, human, 3 cases with associated Salmonella infections, possible etiologic association postulated mixed infection bacteria Schistosoma intercalatum (Trematoda) Medecine Tropicale. [agris.fao.org]
Etiology: The trematodes (flukes). Schistosomes are flukes that inhabit the portal vascular system. All species have similar life cycles. [meddean.luc.edu]
Etiology The diagnosis of schistosomiasis should be considered in any individuals who have resided in endemic areas with significant freshwater contact. S mekongi is thought to be the principal human schistosome pathogen of Cambodia and Laos. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
These epidemiological observations lead the authors to distinguish three kinds of transmission foci for S. intercalatum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
In this article, the authors discuss the role of humans and snails in the fascinating life cycle of schistosomal worms, the presumed pathophysiology of neuroschistosomiasis, and advances in the control, diagnosis, and treatment of this important parasitic [medlink.com]
Schistosomiasis comprises the following 3 major syndromes: Cercarial dermatitis Acute schistosomiasis or Katayama fever Chronic fibro-obstructive disease Pathophysiology Schistosomes are digenetic, which means that mature adult worms reproduce sexually [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Simultaneous infections without choice of mate showed an absence of any physiological barriers preventing encounter and mating of the two species on the same host. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Our Goal The Carter Center undertakes one of the longest-running initiatives in providing health education and treatment for schistosomiasis in Nigeria, the world's most endemic country for this preventable but devastating disease. [cartercenter.org]
