Hematobium species of this parasite tends to bladder and mesenteric arteries and it causes lesions in the bladder wall, urethra, and renal tubes. A 25-year-old man living in Tehran (a non-endemic and very rare area for schistosoma) suffers from symptoms such as hematuria with suprapubic pain,
40 patients--5 to 50 years of age--voiding eggs of Schistosoma haematobium in their urine--underwent treatment with Metrifonate at the OPD of Bong Mine Hospital, Liberia. The patients received 10 mg/kg body weight 3 times at a fortnight's interval. The drug was swallowed under medical supervision.
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common surgical condition, while Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, for which differential diagnosis is considered among children. Intestinal parasitosis refers to a group of disease The diagnostic efficacy of Fasciola gigantica adult worm vomit (AWV) preparation in diagnosis of human fasciolosis was evaluated using conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Falcon assay screening test (FAST)-ELISA in comparison with F. gigantica adult total soluble extract
During the last twenty years, praziquantel (PZQ) was the drug of choice for the treatment of schistosomiasis in the majority of national programs. However, a lower rate of cure had been significantly noted on the left bank of the Senegal River. To explain this unusual rate of cure, the assumption of
In the past three months 2-cyclo-hexylcarbonyl-1,2,3,6,7,11b-hexahydro-4H-pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one (praziquantel, EMBAY 8440, Biltricide) has been used in Kenya in the treatment of schistosomiasis mansoni at a single oral dose of 40 mg/kg. To date 42 individuals have been treated and one
Clinical gastro-intestinal manifestations were studied in 34 patients in the initial phase of schistosomiasis mansoni. The patients, all men, were of similar age and in similar nutritional condition and had been infected simultaneously at the same transmission site. Most (85%) showed some
Ninety-one children with chronic schistosomiasis mansoni were selected for this double blind trial. 48 (Group 1) were treated with a single oral dose of oxamniquine (20mg/kg body-weight) and 43 (Group 2) received the placebo. Clinical, laboratory and radiological examinations were performed before

Caused by Schistosoma mansoni, intestinal bilharziasis is endemic in west central Africa, the Arabic peninsula, the Caribbean Islands and the Atlantic cost of South America. Young adults emit large quantities of eggs in stools. CLINICALLY: The adult stage of Schistosoma mansoni lives in
Clinical and laboratory findings and hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers were compared in 105 patients with uncomplicated schistosomiasis mansoni, schistosomiasis haematobium, or both infections. 34 (32%) had HBs antigen (Ag); 51 (49%) had anti-HBs and/or anti-HBc; 20 (19%) had no markers for HBV. In
