Symptoma

Schistosomiasis Mansoni

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]

    Intestinal schistosomiasis can result in abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and blood in the stool. [who.int]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • Fasciola Hepatica

    The detection method ELISA specific for estradiol, revealed the expression of this estradiol-related molecule in schistosome worm extracts, but not in Fasciola hepatica worm extracts. [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]

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]
