Heterophile Antibodies in Schistosomiasis Mansoni
The Journal of Parasitology, 1967Heterophile-antibody titers were determined in sera from apparently healthy individuals and from patients infected with Schistosoma mansoni. The conglutination technique demonstrated ag- glutinating titers equal to or higher than 1:40 in 100% of the schistosome patients, in 80% of the pa- tients with helminthiases other than schistosomiasis, and in 62%

Schistosomiasis mansoni – Clinical features
Gastroenterología y Hepatología, 2005In the present review, we will discuss the Schistosoma mansoni form, which is the most widely distributed schistosome in humans and is found both in the Old and New Worlds. The main features of the natural history of mansonic schistosomiasis are reviewed, with emphasis on the clinical forms of the disease, their diagnosis and treatment.

CT of hepatic schistosomiasis mansoni
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1985Schistosomal periportal fibrosis produced a typical pattern on computed tomography in five patients. Low-density periportal tissue, present throughout the liver, enhanced strongly after the administration of contrast medium. While rounded in cross section, the thickened periportal tissue produced linear and branching patterns when imaged in ...

Schistosoma mansoni is common in Nigeria as well as in other countries of West Africa (Edington, 1979). The eggs are laid in the small venules of the submucosal layer of the intestinal wall and pass out usually in the faeces but some may enter the blood stream to be found in any organ of the body (Edington et al., 1975).

Splenomegaly in Schistosomiasis Mansoni
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1962Summary Egg counts for Schistosoma mansoni in part of the population of a highly endemic town in Pernambuco, Brazil, showed that after reaching a maximum early in life, egg output decreased sharply. It is felt that acquired immunity may be involved. While splenomegaly in other parasitic or infectious diseases may start in infancy, spleen enlargement in

RENAL TRANSPLANTATION AND SCHISTOSOMIASIS MANSONI
Transplantation, 1987Eleven patients with schistosomiasis mansoni received a renal transplant. In 5 patients, the schistosomiasis was asymptomatic and had been diagnosed by routine examinations and had no relationship to nephropathy. In 4 patients, the nephropathy was suggestive of being of schistosomal origin.
