- Chills
His main complaints on admission were fever, diaphoresis and chills for ten days, and diarrhoea that lasted for four days. On physical examination he had jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
After infected, a rash or itchy skin may develop after a few days, and systematic symptoms such as fever, chills, cough, and muscle aches may appear within 1-2 months. [outbreaknewstoday.com]
The symptoms and signs of this stage forms a syndrome known as Katayama Syndrome or Katayama Fever and they include Fever, headache, chills, muscle pains, Malaise, diarrhea and vomiting. [jotscroll.com]
The most common manifestations are fever, chills, weakness, headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and general malaise. Severe watery diarrhea, sometimes bloody stools, nonproductive cough, and rapid weight loss may develop. [elsevier.es]
- Swelling
Delayed footpad swelling to SEA reached its peak at 10 weeks and declined thereafter, but the response to PPD in tuberculin-sensitized schistosome infected mice remained constant over the period of time studied. [jimmunol.org]
For example, an infection in the: digestive system can cause anaemia, tummy pain and swelling, diarrhoea and blood in your poo urinary system can cause irritation of the bladder (cystitis), pain when peeing, a frequent need to pee, and blood in your pee [nhs.uk]
The eggs can lodge in a number of areas around the body causing inflammation (swelling). This can then lead to the formation of tissue masses called granulomas and stiffening of the tissue called fibrosis. [yourgenome.org]
Besides a clinical suspicion of loiasis (hypereosinophilia, Calabar swelling), not confirmed by laboratory identification, the latter patient also presented multiple hypoechogenic lesions of the spleen that completely disappeared (along with the eosinophilia [journals.plos.org]
- Laboratory Technician
Abstract Background A 40-year-old female laboratory technician accidentally came into contact with water that contained snails shedding Schistosoma mansoni cercariae while she was maintaining an aquarium. [nature.com]

Gastrointestinal
- 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]

- Nausea
In case 1, a 20-year-old man presented with occipital headache, intense dizziness, visual alterations, nausea, decreased appetite, and asthenia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Four to 8 weeks after exposure, an acute illness can develop, manifested by fever, malaise, cough, rash, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, lymphadenopathy, and eosinophilia (Katayama fever). [meddean.luc.edu]
It is well tolerated, with approximately 20% of treated patients experiencing adverse effects including abdominal pain, nausea, headaches, vertigo and somnolence. [therapeutique-dermatologique.org]

The headaches radiate posteriorly and were not associated with visual scintillation, position, movement, nausea or vomiting. They were occuring daily and were not relieved by administration of commom analgesics. [scielo.br]
- Vomiting
He had not vomited blood. He was tired and reported severe weight loss, which had reduced him to a weight of 38 kg at the time of examination. [idpjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Symptoms of the disease vary widely and can be fairly mild (fever, skin rash, coughing) or more severe (passing blood in diarrhoea or urine, vomiting blood, stomach pains, paralysis of the legs). Over 90% of cases occur in Africa. [isrctn.com]

However, an imperfect ORF detected in the 1.0-kb marker showed a relationship (45% identity) with a retrovirus-related group-specific antigens (gag) polyprotein (GenBank accession no. P04023 ). [pnas.org]
Skin
- Dermatitis
A transient pruritus or dermatitis, probably irritative, characterizes the stage of cercarial penetration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Swimmer's itch can be difficult to differentiate from other causes of dermatitis. A skin biopsy may demonstrate larvae, but their absence does not exclude the diagnosis. Treatment: There is no specific therapy for dermatitis or Katayama syndrome. [meddean.luc.edu]

The result of egg counts using Kato method suggested that detection of urine CCA could be used to indicate the intensity of infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Schistosomiasis is considered one of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).The parasites that cause schistosomiasis live in certain types of freshwater snails. [cdc.gov]

Prevention
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]
