Among the females, with urogenital schistosomiasis, one third reported to have vaginal discharge and just under half of the study participants had S. haematobium eggs visible in the urine indicative of active urogenital schistosomiasis. As only a single urine sample was taken the actual prevalence of active as well as past infection with urogenital schistosomiasis is likely higher, for in the light of daily water contact activities undertaken in these villages, such as swimming, bathing, washing clothes, fishing, etc., the risk here is universal. Typical of the age-prevalence relationship for urinary schistosomiasis, egg-patent prevalence was higher in the 5-15-year-old category. Nonetheless, some of the older girls and adult women were excreting eggs in urine. Whilst there have been several reports describing prevalence and intensity of urogenital schistosomiasis along this shoreline, and in Ogun State in general (Mafiana et al. 2003; Ekpo et al. 2008, 2010; Akinwale et al. 2010), there has ...

Achieving and maintaining high MDA coverage is key for the success of helminthiases control and elimination programmes. We found that the SBT coverage on Pemba and Unguja islands was 85.2 % and 86.9 %, respectively, and hence in line with MoH reports from Pemba (84.3 %) and higher than reports from Unguja (63.9 %). However, in Unguja, around one third of the visited schools had not been covered by SBT at all and was excluded from this analysis. The CWT compliance observed in our post-MDA survey was significantly lower than the coverage reported by the MoH. While according to the CDD reports more than 80 % of the eligible population had received treatment in the CWT, we found that only 71.2 % and 60.1 % of the eligible adult population in Unguja and Pemba, respectively, had received praziquantel and that only 60.1 % and 50.3 %, respectively, of the eligible adult population complied with the praziquantel intake. In our study population, the main reasons for not having received or taken the drugs ...

We aggregated published data from field studies documenting prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium infection and bladder pathology determined by ultrasonography or hematuria detected by reagent strip, questionnaire, or visual examination. A mathematical expression was used to describe the associations between prevalence of pathology/morbidity and infection. This allows for indirect comparison of these methods, which are rarely used simultaneously. All four methods showed a similar, marked association with infection. Surprisingly, ultrasound revealed higher prevalences of pathology in schools than in communities with the same prevalence of infection, implying a need for age-related cut-off values. Reagent strip testing yielded a higher prevalence than questionnaire, which in turn was higher than by visual examination. After correction for morbidity due to other causes, a consistent ratio in prevalence of hematuria of 3:2:1 resulted for the three respective methods. The simple questionnaire approach is not

Schistosomes are human parasites distributed worldwide in tropical and sub-tropical latitudes, especially in developing countries and impoverished regions. These neglected tropical disease (NTD) pathogens causes debilitating illnesses, which include hepatosplenomegaly, hepatic fibrosis, haemorrhagic necrotic ulcerations in the intestinal mucosa, urogenital tract diseases, in addition to cardiopulmonary, renal and neurologic lesions due to egg accumulation in the liver, intestines, uro-genital tissues and other sites. Urogenital schistosomiasis is a risk factor for bladder cancer and increases the risk of transmission of HIV infection. Despite extensive effort to control this NTD over the years, deployment on a considerable scale of commercially available drugs in endemic populations has induced the emergence of resistant isolates and raised the need to identify new targets for alternative therapies. Because of the availability of genomes of the three major species of human schistosomiasis, and ...

Background: Schistosomes are parasitic worms that dwell in the blood vessels and belong to the genus Schistosoma. Schistosoma haematobium, one of the species of Schistosoma cause urogenital schistosomiasis (urinary schistosomiasis). The knowledge of urogenital schistosomiasis has improved over the years; however, there are still endemic areas with reported cases in Africa including Ghana. The disease may present as mild or severe with accompanying morbidity and mortality. Genetic variation in S. haematobium may play an important role in developing pathology which may lead to difference in severity in clinical symptoms. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine a possible link between genetic variations in S. haematobium, and disease severity in the Greater Accra Region. Methodology: Three hundred and sixty-seven (367) urine samples were collected from school children in Zenu and Weija communities. Presence of S. haematobium eggs was determined microscopically from the urine deposit after ...

Abstract Schistosoma haematobium egg burdens (eggs/g of tissue) of 17 anatomic segments of lower urinary tracts from 32 unselected Egyptian autopsies have been determined by tissue digestion and replicate counts of aliquots of the digestate. There were three anatomic patterns of egg distribution in these lower urinary tracts: apical, basal and diffuse. Regression of egg burdens of each of the anatomic segments as the dependent variable against egg burdens of the entire lower urinary burden yielded a good fit for 15 of 17 of these segments. Statistical analyses revealed that many of these equations for discrete anatomic segments can be combined, generally giving one equation for anatomic regions which are in continuity, indicating that the female worm lives and oviposits in specified venous plexes. These equations also suggest that there are differences in the rates, duration and onset of egg accumulation which may be responsible for schistosomal obstructive uropathy as a cause of death in fairly young

A new study asserts that a particular type of schistosomiasis may predispose women to contracting HIV. Researchers Downs, Mguta, Kaatano et al (2011) conducted a study within the villages of the Lake Victoria region of Tanzania, and found that female urogenital schistosomiasis (FUS) is associated with HIV infection.. The study entitled Urogenital Schistosomiasis in Women of Reproductive Age in Tanzanias Lake Victoria Region builds upon previously conducted research in Zimbabwe where women who suffered from genital schistosomiasis were at greater risk for contracting HIV.. FUS is caused by the Schistosoma haematobium (S.haematobium) worm and affects approximately 45 million women living in sub-Saharan Africa. These worms infect the urine and genital tracts causing inflammation, discomfort, bleeding, and infertility. The Lake Victoria Region found in northwestern Tanzania bordering Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda has one of the highest prevalences of S.haematobium with 50-90% of schoolchildren ...

Author Summary Urogenital schistosomiasis (infection with parasitic Schistosoma haematobium worms, the most common human-specific Schistosoma species globally) affects over 112 million people worldwide. S. haematobium worms primarily lay eggs in the bladder, upper urinary and genital tracts, and the host immune response to these eggs is considered to cause almost all associated disease in these organs. Resulting conditions include hematuria (bloody urine), urinary frequency, fibrosis (internal scarring) of the urinary tract, increased risk of bladder cancer, and enhanced susceptibility to contracting HIV. Approximately 150,000 people die annually from S. haematobium-induced obstructive kidney failure alone, making this species one of the deadliest worms worldwide. Despite the importance of S. haematobium, a lack of an experimentally manipulable model has contributed to the paucity of research focusing on this parasite. We have circumvented the barriers to natural S. haematobium oviposition in the mouse

The present study reports for the first time the relationship between urinary cytokines IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-10, and S. haematobium infection and infection-associated urinary tract pathology in primary school children. Levels of urinary cytokine were lower than those of serum cytokines and there was no correlation between levels of urinary and serum IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-10 among the children. These findings concur with those of a previous study which demonstrated differences between urine and serum cytokine levels in children with bacterial infections of the urinary tract [22]. These findings suggest that there may be differences between systemic and local mucosal cytokine production or secretion during infections in the urinary tract.. A correlation between ex vivo cytokine secretion by antigen-stimulated peripheral blood cells and schistosome-related morbidity has previously been demonstrated both in studies on human schistosome infections and in S. mansoni-animal models where ...

The presence of multiple concurrent infections, or polyparasitism, is quite common in schistosomiasis endemic areas. Msambweni District in the Coast Province of Kenya is highly endemic for Schistosoma haematobium. Previous studies showed an overall prevalence of schistosomiasis in Msambweni District at 40% to 60%. This is a prevalence way above the national prevalence of approximately 23%. There has been continued support by various agencies, including the government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in providing treatment and control of the disease in the area. However, the long term impact of these programs in the reduction of the overall prevalence of the disease has not been fully evaluated. This survey of 1232 people aged 5-78 years in two villages in Vingujini Sub-Location Msambweni District of Coast Province, Kenya was conducted to determine prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium and soil transmitted helminthes infections. Urine and stool samples were collected and examined for ...

Introduction Available data indicate that urinary schistosomiasis is endemic in Ghana [1, 2]. Consistently, intermediate host snail elimination has not been cost effective, due to the negative impact molluscicides have on the ecosystem [3]. Contemporary initiatives to reduce the burden in Ghana and globally is largely on praziquantel use, depending on the prevalence obtained

Microscopic identification of eggs in stool or urine is the usual method for diagnosis. Stool examination should be performed when infection with S. mansoni or S. japonicum is suspected, and urine examination should be performed if S. haematobium is suspected. Eggs can be present in the stool in infections with all Schistosoma species. The examination can be performed on a simple smear (1 to 2 mg of fecal material). Since eggs may be passed intermittently or in small amounts, their detection will be enhanced by repeated examinations and/or concentration procedures (such as the formalin-ethyl acetate technique). In addition, for field surveys and investigational purposes, the egg output can be quantified by using the Kato-Katz technique (20 to 50 mg of fecal material; the standard Kato-Katz template is calibrated to 41.7 mg) or formalin ethyl acetate concentration. Further, homogenization of the whole fecal sample may enhance recovery of eggs for S. japonicum, as eggs may have an uneven ...

Urinary schistosomiasis is a common parasitic disease in endemic countries. We report the case of a patient who was on a working trip to Mauritania. This parasitosis, suspected in the presence of hematuria and the notion of stay in an endemic zone, was confirmed by the presence of Schistosoma heamatobium eggs during the histological examination of the bladder biopsy performed after cystoscopy, highlighting a bilharzial granuloma and of course, the diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of eggs during the direct examination of the freshly collected urine. It should be pointed out that the diagnosis of schistosomiasis must be evoked with the association of hematuria and the particular inflammatory aspect of the vesical mucosa and, of course, the notion of stay in an endemic zone.

We included 30 RCTs enrolling 8165 participants in this review. Twenty-four trials were conducted in children in sub-Saharan Africa, and 21 trials were over 20 years old. Many studies were assessed as being at unclear risk of bias due to inadequate descriptions of study methods.. Praziquantel On average, a single 40 mg/kg dose of praziquantel reduced the proportion of people still excreting eggs in their urine by around 60% compared to placebo at one to two months after treatment (treatment failure: RR 0.42, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.59, 864 participants, seven trials, high quality evidence). The proportion of people cured with praziquantel varied substantially between trials, from 22.5% to 83.3%, but was higher than 60% in five of the seven trials. At one to two months following praziquantel treatment at 40 mg/kg, the mean number of schistosome eggs in the urine was reduced by over 95% in five out of six trials (678 participants, six trials, high quality evidence).. Splitting praziquantel 40 mg/kg into ...

A primary objective of schistosomiasis control programmes is to achieve, and hence also demonstrate, a quantifiable reduction in schistosome-associated morbidity as a consequence of chemotherapeutic intervention. Inherent within such an objective, it is necessary to define and validate direct and indirect indicators of schistosome-related morbidity. However, to define and thereby document such morbidity, and its reduction following treatment, may not be straightforward, particularly for intestinal schistosomiasis-induced morbidity, which is often not apparent in all but the most severe or chronic cases. Within all Schistosomiasis Control Initiative activities, across selected sub-Saharan African countries since 2002, a range of standard and novel potential morbidity markers have been monitored and evaluated. Parasitological intensity measures, combined with haemoglobin/anaemia counts and ultrasonography, proved valuable schistosomiasis-related morbidity indicators, being both logistically ...

The initial stage is also known as swimmers itch as it is experienced shortly after swimming in the infected water. The area of the skin through which the parasite gains entry develops an itchy rash which can persist for around 5 days. High grade fever with chills in the evenings, sweating and breathlessness or asthma can occur after around 4 to 12 weeks of initial stage. Typically one may see a rise in the white cell count (leukocytosis) responsible for the fever and eosinophils or allergy cell (eosinophilia) in the blood during this stage.. Symptoms usually subside and after several months the ova (eggs) of the parasite are released and cause the typical sign of intermittent, painless passage of red blood cells in the urine (hematuria), increased frequency of urination and pain during urination is experienced. Usually, this causes concern and most cases are detected at this stage.. Untreated bilharzia can lead to :. ...

Urogenital schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium is widely distributed across Africa and is increasingly being targeted for control. Genome sequences and population genetic parameters can give insight into the potential for population- or species-level drug resistance. Microsatellite DNA loci are genetic markers in wide use by Schistosoma researchers, but there are few primers available for S. haematobium. We sequenced 1,058,114 random DNA fragments from clonal cercariae collected from a snail infected with a single Schistosoma haematobium miracidium. We assembled and aligned the S. haematobium sequences to the genomes of S. mansoni and S. japonicum, identifying microsatellite DNA loci across all three species and designing primers to amplify the loci in S. haematobium. To validate our primers, we screened 32 randomly selected primer pairs with population samples of S. haematobium. We designed |13,790 primer pairs to amplify unique microsatellite loci in S. haematobium, (available at

Over 1 billion of the worlds poorest inhabitants are afflicted by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Integrated control programmes aimed at tackling these debilitating NTDs have been recently initiated, mainly using preventative chemotherapy. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of these integrated programs presents particular challenges over and above those required for single disease vertical programmes. We used baseline data from the National NTD Control Programme in Burkina Faso in order to assess the feasibility of an integrated survey design, as well as to elucidate the contribution of environmental variables to the risk of either Schistosoma haematobium, trachoma, or both among school-aged children. S. haematobium infection was diagnosed by detecting eggs in urine. A trachoma case was defined by the presence of Trachomatous inflammation-Follicular (TF) and/or Trachomatous inflammation-Intense (TI) in either eye. Baseline data collected from 3,324 children aged 7-11 years in 21 sentinel sites across

Chronic intestinal schistosomiasis has been reported to be associated with colonic polyps, colorectal cancer and ulcerative colitis. We aim to investigate the clinical characteristics of intestinal-related lesions caused by chronic intestinal schistosomiasis japonicum. Patients with and without chronic intestinal schistosomiasis were retrospectively enrolled from the endoscopy center of Wuhan Union Hospital from September 1, 2014, to June 30, 2019 with a ratio of 4:1. The characteristics of infected intestinal segments were analyzed in patients with chronic intestinal schistosomiasis. We also compared the characteristics of intestinal-related lesions, including colorectal polyps, colorectal cancer (CRC), ulceration or erosion of the intestinal mucosa and hemorrhoids, between the two groups. A total of 248 patients with chronic intestinal schistosomiasis and 992 patients without chronic intestinal schistosomiasis were analyzed. The most common sites of chronic intestinal schistosomiasis were the sigmoid

Intestinal schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma japonicum, S. mekongi, mansoni, and S. intercalatum, can lead to serious complications ofthe liver and spleen. Urinary schistosomiasis is caused by S. haematobium.. It is difficult to know how many individuals die of schistosomiasis each yearbecause death certificates and patient records seldom identify schistosomiasis as the primary cause of death. Mortality estimates vary related to the type of schistosome infection but is generally low, for example, 2.4 of 100,000die each year from infection with S. mansoni.. All five species are contracted in the same way, through direct contact withfresh water infested with the free-living form of the parasite known as cercariae. The building of dams, irrigation systems, and reservoirs, and the movements of refugee groups introduce and spread schistosomiasis.. Eggs are excreted in human urine and feces and, in areas with poor sanitation, contaminate freshwater sources. The eggs break open to release a form ...

Urinary schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma haematobium, remains a significant public health problem worldwide, despite years of efforts to control it. Haematuria is one of the notable indirect indicators of S. haematobium infection and is commonly assessed along with other routine screens using a urinary dipstick test. A portable field friendly electronic analyser would offer an automated and thus more objective read-out compared to visual-read dipstick methods.; Within the framework of a Phase 2 praziquantel dose finding study in preschool- and school-aged children infected with S. haematobium, in southern Côte dIvoire, we compared a visual-read of the urine dipstick strips (Multistix PRO, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics) to an automated reader (CLINITEK Status+ analysertm Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics). Urine samples were collected from 148 pre-school aged and 152 school-aged children for urinalysis. Values were compared using a linear weighted kappa statistic and Bland-Altman ...

Female genital schistosomiasis is a neglected manifestation of schistosomiasis and its public health importance is yet to be determined. Symptoms and signs induced by genital schistosomiasis are unspecific and depending on the localisation of the infection the clinical picture is heterogenous. Pathological consequences of female genital schistosomiasis such as infertility may have a considerable impact on the social life of the diseased woman resulting in divorce or reduced chances to marry. In this paper the results of epidemiological, parasitological and clinical investigations of female genital schistosomiasis, which have been carried out in two study villages in Northern Tanzania, are described. The frequency of schistosomiasis of the cervix in women aged 15 to 45 years (38%) was similar to the frequency of urinary schistosomiasis (42%). The main pathological lesions seen were sandy patches, which seem to be pathognomic, leucoplakia and epithelial lesions. In cervical biopsies of women with ...

Urinary schistosomosis is a serious public health problem prevalent in low-income rural regions of sub-Saharan Africa, including coastal part of Kenya. Praziquantel administration to school-aged children is the prevailing tool of schistosomosis control in these regions. The aim of our study was to find out if this control strategy can lead to interruption of parasite trasmission and disease elimination. During February and March 2018, the occurrence of urinary schistosomosis in volunteers of primary health care facilities in Kwale County, Kenya was examined and the occurrence of infected intermediate hosts Bulinus globosus in local water resources was monitored. Participants completed a questionnaire concerning source of water for household purposes, type of housing and health status and were asked to provide urine samples. Diagnosis of urinary schistosomosis was established by detection of Schistosoma haematobium eggs in urine specimens microscopically, using filtration method. Infected B. ...

Over the past three years, The Carter Center, in partnership with the Nigeria Ministry of Health, has introduced an innovative way of simultaneously treating several parasitic diseases in Nigeria. In this approach - known as triple-drug treatment - a health worker gives a community member three different medicines at one time that in combination treat river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, and several kinds of intestinal worms. In the interview that follows, Frank Richards Jr., M.D., who directs the Centers programs for fighting these diseases, discusses the benefits of the triple-drug approach. Learn More ...

Background: Despite major redevelopments and changes to existing health care delivery infrastructure a range of pathologies and associated health problems prevail that impact on society as a whole. Many of these diseases and health problems are directly attributable to lifestyle choices and environmental factors. One of these diseases is Schistosomiasis (also known as bilharzias), a condition still prevalent in countries such as Nigeria, with school age children most commonly affected. This study analysed the specific age distribution of Schistosomiasis and other gastrointestinal (GI) related parasitic infections among children (0-15 years) in Holy Ghost Hospital, Imo State Nigeria from 2012 - 2015. Methodology: Using a retrospective survey design, to provide a quantitatively measurable and statistical description of the subject under study the demographic profiles of 323 children with a clinical diagnosis of Schistosomiasis were collected. Details collated included year of clinical diagnosis, ...

Macroscopic haematuria has always been considered to be serious. Hippocrates stated, If a patient passes blood, pus, and scales, in the urine, and if it has a heavy smell, ulceration of the bladder is indicated. The clinical significance of microhaematuria (microscopic haematuria), on the other hand, is more controversial. No consensus exists on the role of asymptomatic microhaematuria in the diagnosis of diseases, and guidelines are contradictory.1-3 Thus, this finding, which has been brought to the fore by the wide use of dipstick testing, presents a dilemma for doctors and even for patients.4 Recently the clinical importance of symptomatic microhaematuria has also been questioned.5 This article looks at the evidence base for the diagnostic value of microhaematuria. ...

but, as it turned out, not quite. When we emerged from the fast-moving part of the river to where the water was still and full of rushes, about 50 yards from shore, the guide motioned for us to take off our shoes and wade the rest of the way. As a doctor I knew this was a bad idea. Still water full of rushes means one thing in Africa: bilharzia, a/k/a schistosomiasis. Wade in that water and the snails clinging to the rushes will pour out myriad tiny parasites whose lifes mission is to crawl through your skin, work their way into either your urinary tract or your intestines depending on whether theyre named Hematobium or Mansoni - in Southern Sudan both types are rampant - and destroy your kidneys, liver, brain, or all three, causing agonizing pain as they go. We begged, we pleaded, but the boatsmen refused to take us closer to land. Im sure they had no idea what we were complaining about, since for them schistosomiasis was just part of normal life - in that area, it still is. So it was wade ...

2os Law thou shait see that everything is done according to the rules, helping everyone to his right he anticipates the swum cuique triluere which Justinian, following the jurist Ulpian, put as ^raeceptum juris at the beginning of his Institutes and of his Digest. Late Egyptian and Persian Period (712-332 B.C.) A great number of legal documents of the late Egyptian era have been preserved. In Upper Egypt at first the hieratic cursive script was used, in Lower and Middle Egypt the demotic. Later on, the demotic character alone was employed. There- fore at first the forms of documents were not all of the same pattern. Inasmuch as at the beginning of the late Egyptian period Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt were often governed by different rulers, it is possible that these differences in form indi- cate different legal systems for the two parts of the country, which were only gradually superseded by a new unity. But the documents in hieratic as well as the demotic legal documents were only new forms ...

The WHO delineates several criteria for effective early disease detection. (a) The disease must be common and associated with serious mortality, (b) treatment as a result of screening must improve prognosis, (c) the potential benefits must outweigh the potential harms and costs of screening, and (d) screening tests must accurately detect early disease (33). Based on our understanding of HNSCC and our preliminary results, we believe that the salivary solCD44 test may be effective for early detection of HNSCC and should be evaluated further.. HNSCC is deadly (only a 50% cure rate on average; ref. 34) and is associated with devastating morbidity due to speech and swallowing problems and disfigurement. HNSCC poses a serious health risk with the incidence of oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx cancers in 15 of 100,000 subjects in the United States (35) and even higher incidence in other parts of the world (36). Approximately 80% of HNSCC is associated with tobacco and alcohol use (4, 6), risk for ...

Does it take antibiotics to preventively reduce the existence of E. coli in the porcine gastro-intestinal tract? Not at all - there are several natural ways to fight the pathogen's existence. Two recent field studies, using live yeast, resulted in a promising reduction of both mortality and morbidity due to pathogenic E. coli in newborn and weaned pigs.
