In case 2, a 22-year-old man presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pseudotumor

  To describe published cases of cerebral mansoni schistosomiasis and three others and discuss the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral pseudotumoral schistosomiasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Plethora

  Our major findings demonstrated a plethora of chemokine secretion with significantly increased secretion of all chemokines analysed in the ACT group. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• 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]

  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]

  It is well tolerated, with approximately 20% of treated patients experiencing adverse effects including abdominal pain, nausea, headaches, vertigo and somnolence. [therapeutique-dermatologique.org]

  pain, poor appetite ( World J Surg Oncol 2010;8:68 ) Chronic colonic ulceration may lead to intestinal bleeding and iron deficiency anemia, intestinal polyps, dysplasia, bowel obstruction or acute appendicitis ( Case Rep Infect Dis 2012;2012:896820 ) [pathologyoutlines.com]

  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]

• Lower 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]

• Acute Abdomen

  Both patients presented with an apparently identical, relatively symptomatic clinical course with rapid evolution to an acute abdomen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Periorbital Edema

  Urticaria, periorbital edema, and rarely a purpuric eruption may occur four to six weeks later, shortly after oviposition by adult worms, probably as an expression of hypersensitivity to ova and their products. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure

  In case 2, a 22-year-old man presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Incontinence

  The patient had been healthy until about five years before, when he presented with paraparesis, loss of sensibility from the pelvic girdle down and fecal and urinary incontinence which persisted until death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Albuminuria

  Although it was not different among the groups, there was a significant correlation between albuminuria and MCP-1. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dyslipidemia

  CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We confirm that human schistosomiasis causes dyslipidemia and report for the first time that certain changes in plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels depend on APOE gene polymorphism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pseudomonas

  We describe a Brazilian patient with chronic schistosomiasis mansoni who developed recurrent pyogenic liver abscesses due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment-related side effects observed were transient and tolerable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Course and prognosis The prognosis of hepatic schistosomiasis is good in the acute and hepatointestinal forms. The prognosis of the hepatosplenic forms depends on whether the liver disease is compensated or decompensated. [elsevier.es]

Schistosomiasis is an important etiology to consider in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Such classifications do not consider the mechanisms by which the etiologic agent provokes the lesion. [link.springer.com]

Etiology: The trematodes (flukes). Schistosomes are flukes that inhabit the portal vascular system. All species have similar life cycles. [meddean.luc.edu]

Our objectives were to estimate the epidemiological burden and the costs of severe stages of S. mansoni in Brazil in 2010. METHODS: We conducted an epidemiologic descriptive study and a partial economic evaluation of cost-of-illness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathophysiology and morphologic features are discussed. Schistosomiasis is an important etiology to consider in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Whereas, ascites, an accumulation of circulatory fluids in the peritoneal cavity, is the result of anatomic and pathophysiologic abnormalities [21]. [idpjournal.biomedcentral.com]

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]
