Purpose:Schistosomiasis, one of the most important parasitic diseases in humans, is caused by the trematode parasites. Common manifestations include gastrointestinal and genitourinary symptoms while ophthalmologic involvement is rare. Here we report a case of retinal vein occlusion and neuroretinitis ...
Symptoms and signs depend on the number and location of eggs trapped in the tissues. Initially, the inflammatory reaction is readily reversible. In the latter stages of the disease, the pathology is associated with collagen deposition and fibrosis, resulting in organ damage that may be only ...

Acute schistosomiasis, a feverish syndrome, is most evident in travellers following a primary infection. Chronic schistosomiasis affects...

. Chronic infection by schistosomes causes a granulomatous inflammatory response to schistosome eggs with symptoms varying based on disease severity and location. Genitourinary schistosomiasis may manifest with hematuria and dysuria. Long-standing infection increases the risk of bladder cancer. ...
Presence and combinations of possible FGS symptoms were described among FGS positives and negatives. Three distinct risk factor analyses were performed based on the diagnostic results for FGS, HPV, and co- presence of the two conditions. Test result distribution among individuals with various risk ...
Like Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS), MGS has often been undiagnosed and misdiagnosed as a sexually transmitted infection (STI) due to the similar symptoms and technical diagnostic challenges in rural and resource- limited endemic areas [14]. Furthermore, the association between zoonotic and ...
