*Background*Schistosome: A parasitic trematode worm
contracted from infested water that is capable of causing liver, gastrointestinal tract and bladder disease.
Three main species of these trematode worms (flukes) ----- Schistosoma mansoni, S. haematobium, and S. japonicum, that produce disease in humans.
Schistosomiasis or bilharzia after the German physician Theodor Bilharz (1825-1862). Nickname “Bill Harris” by British soldiers serving in Europe during WWI.

*Life Cycle*

*Pathogenesis*
S. mansoni most pathogenic site of infection: veins of large intestine
S. haematobium bloody urine site of infection: veins of bladder
S. japonicum high morbidity site of infection: veins of small intestine

*Clinical Symptoms*Migratory phase Symptomless
Acute phase (Katayama fever) Chills, fever, fatigue, headache, muscle aches,
cough, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and eosinophilia.
Chronic phase Bloody diarrhea, enlargement of liver and spleen,
ascites, bloody urine, bladder cancer, kidney problems, CNS lesions

*Control & Prevention*
Education of the public Sanatation of drinking waterDiagnosis and treatment Management of the environment Control of the intermediate hosts
(freshwater snails)

*Diagnosis*
Microscopic identification of eggs in stool or urine (most practical)
Tissue biopsy- rectal or bladder biopsy may demonstrate eggs when stool or urine examinations are negative.
Antibody detectionMorphologic comparison with other
intestinal parasites

*Treatment*praziquantel -drug of choice, effective
in the treatment of all forms of schistosomiasis, with virtually no side effects
Oxamniquine -used exclusively to treat intestinal schistosomiasis in Africa and South America
Metrifonate - effective for the treatment of urinary schistosomiasis
No vaccinations currently available
