Abstract:
Schistosomiasis is a helminthic infection and one of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). It is caused by blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma. It is an important public health problem, particularly in poverty-stricken areas, especially those within the tropics and subtropics. It is estimated that at least 236 million people worldwide are infected, 90% of them in sub-Saharan Africa, and that this disease causes approximately 300,000 deaths annually. The clinical manifestations are varied and affect practically all organs. There are substantial differences in the clinical presentation, depending on the phase and clinical form of schistosomiasis in which it occurs. Schistosomiasis can remain undiagnosed for a long period of time, with secondary clinical lesion. Here, we review the clinical profile of schistosomiasis. This information may aid in the development of more efficacious treatments and improved disease prognosis.
摘要:
血吸虫病是一种蠕虫感染,是被忽视的热带病(NTDs)之一。它是由血吸虫属的血吸虫引起的。这是一个重要的公共卫生问题,特别是在贫困地区,尤其是那些在热带和亚热带地区。据估计,全世界至少有2.36亿人被感染,其中90%在撒哈拉以南非洲,这种疾病每年导致大约30万人死亡。临床表现是多种多样的,几乎影响所有器官。临床表现有实质性差异,取决于发生血吸虫病的阶段和临床形式。血吸虫病可以长期得不到诊断,继发临床病变。这里,我们回顾了血吸虫病的临床概况。这些信息可能有助于开发更有效的治疗方法并改善疾病预后。
