Genital schistosomiasis mansoni concomitant to genital tumor in areas of low endemicity: challenging diagnosis

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Genital infection by Schistosoma mansoni is usually misdiagnosed in individuals who reside in, or travel to endemic areas. We describe two cases of genital tumor associated with S. mansoni infection manifested by methrorragy.

Pulmonary Hypertension Associated With Sickle Cell Disease and Schistosomiasis

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 15, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis and sickle cell disease (SCD) both cause pulmonary hypertension (PH). We identified a subject with sickle cell trait and hepatosplenic schistosomiasis, who on right heart catheterization had PH, but due to high cardiac output. In a pre‐clinical model, we found SCD mice were protected from developing schistosomiasis‐induced PH.

Schistosomiasis Burden and Its Association With Lower Measles Vaccine Responses in School Children From Rural Cameroon

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Background and Methods: Schistosomiasis is debilitating and reported to impair immune responsiveness of infected hosts. In Cameroon, mass drug administration (MDA) is used in schoolchildren to reduce transmission of S. haematobium and S. mansoni.

Serological Evidence of Soil‐Transmitted Helminth Infections as a Potential Risk for Severity in Leprosy Patients

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 10, Page 1115-1123, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Leprosy presents a broad clinical spectrum influenced by the host's immune response, and co‐infections may further modulate disease progression. This study evaluated clinically diagnosed leprosy patients (n = 251) from Sergipe and Minas Gerais, Brazil, along with healthy controls (n = 43), soil‐transmitted helminths‐positive controls (n = 15),

Effect of maternal Schistosoma mansoni infection and praziquantel treatment during pregnancy on Schistosoma mansoni infection and immune responsiveness among offspring at age five years.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
IntroductionOffspring of Schistosoma mansoni-infected women in schistosomiasis-endemic areas may be sensitised in-utero. This may influence their immune responsiveness to schistosome infection and schistosomiasis-associated morbidity.
