Schistosomal glomerulopathies
Schistosomes are blood flukes that parasitize the venous system of a wide range of animals including birds, cattle and primates. There are seven human pathogenic species of which the, most prevalent are S. hematobium, found mainly in Africa, S. mansoni found in Latin America as well as Africa, and S. japonicum, endemic in China and the Far East. According to WHO estimates, some 700 million inha...
متن کاملFamily occurrence of schistosomal hepatosplenomegaly and maternal effect.
In this paper we present a study of members of 265 nuclear families, aged six or more. This study is based of family heredograms, and takes into account the clinical form of schistosomiasis observed before treatment with oxamniquine. The probability of occurrence of two or more cases of hepatosplenomegaly is low, notwithstanding the fact that it was observed in 38 families. Even less frequent i...
متن کاملAngiogenesis and schistosomal granuloma formation.
An increasing amount of evidences points to angiogenesis as playing a paramount role in fibrosis development. However granulomas in general, and periovular schistosomal granulomas in particular, are considered avascular structures, although they usually result in dense areas of focal fibrosis. In order to clarify this apparent paradox, the presence of blood vessels was systematically searched i...
متن کاملMR imaging of schistosomal myelitis.
Myelitis is a rare complication of Schistosoma mansoni, and is characterized by a dramatic involvement of the lower part of the spinal cord [1 , 2]. Early antischistosomal therapy is able to improve markedly clinical signs [3, 4J. Myelography and CT (3, 5-1 OJ are normal in most cases of Schistosoma mansoni transverse myelitis (2, 1 OJ . As far as we know, no MR studies have been reported. We p...
متن کاملSignificance of schistosomal granuloma modulation.
Hepatic Schistosoma mansoni periovular granulomas undergo changes in size, cellular composition and appearance with time. This phenomenon, known as "immunological modulation", has been thought to reflect host immunological status. However, as modulation has not been observed outside the liver, participation of local factors, hitherto little considered, seems crucial. Components of the extracell...
