She presented a full recovery and options for future reproduction are under evaluation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Inflammation

  Thus T2-weighted spin echo sequences should be performed and may be helpful to assess activity of periportal inflammation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  While S. mansoni does not directly infect the genital tract, we hypothesize that the inflammation it causes in the gut may be associated with mucosal inflammation at other sites through activation of common mucosal homing integrins such as a4b7. [clinicaltrials.gov]

  This damage may be due to schistosome eggs migrating to these organs and causing inflammation. [yourgenome.org]

• Asymptomatic

  Chronic asymptomatic patients and those with incipient fibrosis expressed very high levels of heterogeneity of their antibody responses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In 5 patients, the schistosomiasis was asymptomatic and had been diagnosed by routine examinations and had no relationship to nephropathy. In 4 patients, the nephropathy was suggestive of being of schistosomal origin. [journals.lww.com]

  Asymptomatic cases have been detected serologically. [viceprovost.tufts.edu]

• Abdominal Pain

  Here, we describe the case of a 31-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain who was diagnosed as presenting a fallopian tube tumor caused by Manson's schistosomiasis. The diagnosis was delayed because her symptoms were considered nonspecific. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  All patients reported non-specific abdominal symptoms, such as diarrhea (six patients), abdominal pain (seven patients), and blood in the stool (five patients), as well as weight loss (two patients). [idpjournal.biomedcentral.com]

  Long-term involvement of the colon produces abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Recurrent Salmonella bacteremia is related to parasitization of the schistosome gut by Salmonella. [meddean.luc.edu]

  pain with dizziness for 12 h. [wjgnet.com]

• Hepatosplenomegaly

  On physical examination he had jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly. Diagnosis of S. marcescens bacteremia was made by isolation of the bacterium in blood culture, and schistosomiasis was diagnosed by rectal and liver biopsies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Overall presence of hepatomegaly was 24.2%, splenomegaly 4.9% and hepatosplenomegaly 30.3%. [journals.plos.org]

  In addition to its antiparasite action, CsA reduced hepatosplenomegaly due to schistosomiasis and diminished the granulomatous inflammatory response of mice to parasite eggs in the liver. [karger.com]

  There may be generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, urticaria and leukocytosis with marked eosinophilia. [jotscroll.com]

• Hypertension

  Portopulmonary hypertension syndrome (PPHS) is a complication of portal hypertension where the substrate is micro-vessel lesions which are indicative of plexogenic arteriopathy. PPHS has not been linked to pulmonary schistosomiasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  However no study investigated its role in portal hypertension. [atlasofscience.org]

• Ulcer

  Ova are mainly seen in the loose submucosa of large intestine, usually with formation of granulomas and infiltration by eosinophils and inflammatory cells Later the muscularis mucosa becomes involved and the overlying mucosa shows small superficial ulcers [pathologyoutlines.com]

  Garlic also resulted in various ultrastructural alterations in the tegument of the surviving worms including tubercular disruption, oedema, blebbing, ulcers, and vacuolization of other tegumental structures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Only mature eggs are capable of crossing into the digestive tract, possibly through the release of proteolytic enzymes, but also as a function of host immune response, which fosters local tissue ulceration. [wikidoc.org]

  Bowel S. mansoni and japonicum produce congestion and ulceration of the bowel wall. Long-term involvement of the colon produces abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. [meddean.luc.edu]

• Hematuria

  In this case, a 48-year-old woman with macroscopic hematuria, dysuria and a palpable abdominal mass was investigated. Ultrasound showed a large exophytic mass in the bladder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Urogenital schistosmiasis is characterized by hematuria. In chronic infections, damage to the urinary system can occur, such as fibrosis of the bladder and ureter, as well as kidney damage that may lead to kidney failure. [news-medical.net]

  Symptoms and signs include dysuria, urgency, terminal microscopic and gross hematuria, secondary urinary tract infections, and nonspecific pelvic pain. Chronic urinary carriage and bacteremia with salmonella can occur. [meddean.luc.edu]

  Granuloma formation in the bladder wall and at the ureterovesical junction results in the major disease manifestations of schistosomiasis haematobia (hematuria, dysuria, and obstructive uropathy). [wikidoc.org]

The mainstay of control is preventive chemotherapy with praziquantel. In Africa, an estimated 230 million people require preventive chemotherapy. In western Côte d'Ivoire, infections with Schistosoma mansoni are widespread. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Estimates show that at least 220.8 million people required preventive treatment in 2017. Preventive treatment, which should be repeated over a number of years, will reduce and prevent morbidity. [who.int]
