MorphologyMorphology
• Size: - Female 12 to 26 mm
- Male 6 to 22 mm
The three main species infecting humans are Schistosoma haematobium, S. japonicum, and S. mansoni.
Two other species, more localized geographically, are S. mekongi and S. intercalatum

Geographic DistributionGeographic Distribution
• Schistosoma mansoni is found in parts of South America and the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle East;
• S. haematobium in Africa and the Middle East; and• S. japonicum in the Far East.
• Schistosoma mekongi and S. intercalatum are found focally in Southeast Asia and central West Africa, respectively.

Clinical FeaturesClinical Features• Many infections are asymptomatic. • Swimmer’s itch ( Cercarial Dermatitis)
• Acute schistosomiasis (Katayama's fever) may occur weeks after the initial infection, especially by S. mansoni and S. japonicum.
• . Manifestations include fever, cough, abdominal pain, diarrhea, hepatospenomegaly, and eosinophilia.
• Occasionally central nervous system lesions occur:• cerebral granulomatous disease may be caused by ectopic S.
japonicum eggs in the brain, and granulomatous lesions around ectopic eggs in the spinal cord from S. mansoni and S. haematobium infections.

Immuno-pathologic consequencesImmuno-pathologic consequences
• Continuing infection may cause granulomatous reactions and fibrosis in the affected organs, which may result in manifestations that include:
• colonic polyposis with bloody diarrhea(Schistosoma mansoni mostly);
• portal hypertension with hematemesis and splenomegaly(S. mansoni, S. japonicum,)
• cystitis and ureteritis (S. haematobium) with hematuria, which can progress to bladder cancer;
• pulmonary hypertension (S. mansoni, S. japonicum, more rarely S. haematobium); glomerulonephritis; and central nervous system lesions

Laboratory DiagnosisLaboratory Diagnosis• Microscopic identification of eggs in stool or urine is the most
practical 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.
Tissue biopsy (rectal biopsy for all species and biopsy of the bladder for S. haematobium) may demonstrate eggs when stool or urine examinations are negative.

Antibody detectionAntibody detection
•Antibody detection can be useful to indicate schistosome infection in patients who have traveled in schistosomiasis endemic areas and in whom eggs cannot be demonstrated in fecal or urine specimens.

TreatmentTreatment
•Safe and effective drugs are available for the treatment of schistosomiasis.
• The drug of choice is praziquantel for infections caused by all Schistosoma species.
• Oxamniquine has been effective in treating infections caused by S. mansoni in some areas in which praziquantel is less effective.
