Gallbladder Bilharziasis

Verrucous carcinoma of the bladder with koilocytosis unassociated with vesical schistosomiasis.

CONTEXT Verrucous carcinoma of the bladder is a very rare malignant neoplasm, histologically similar to condyloma acuminatum. Usually it shows association with vesical schistosomiasis (bilharziasis). Only 13 cases unrelated to bilharziasis have been reported to date, and none of them reported koilocytosis, a typical finding in human papillomavirus infection. CASE REPORT We report a case of ve...

Observations on bilharziasis of domestic ruminants in South Africa.

McCULLY, R. M. & KRUGER, S. P. Observations on bilharziasis of domestic ruminants in South Africa. Onderstepoort J. vet . Res. 36 (1), 129-162 Bilharziasis of 100 sheep and 14 cattle caused by Schistosoma mattheei Veglia & Le Roux, 1929, was studied in detail from the histopathological aspect. The ovine cases included natural as well as experimentally infested animals. The most significant chan...

The diagnosis of bilharziasis.

In addition to the classical manifestations, bilharziasis may present with features which are atypical and which may simulate other conditions. In such cases the value of the previous history cannot be overemphasized, immunodiagnostic procedures are useful pointers in diagnosis but in general treatment should be undertaken only after ova of the parasites have been found.

Bilharziasis in tropical Africa.

Urine carcinoembryonic antigen determination in urinary bladder bilharziasis predicts carcinoma in patients with premalignant lesions: observation of 43 cases in Egypt.

Both urinary bilharziasis and urothelial neoplasia are associated with increased production of tissue carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Urine and serum CEA were determined in 43 patients with urinary bladder carcinoma including 22 post bilharzial and 21 non-biharzial cases, in addition to 10 normal control cases. A significant increase was detected in both urine and serum CEA levels with bladder ...
