236.4.0.0.1 Schistosomiasis
  • 5 species human:
    • S. mansoni (Africa + Latin America) — hepatic + intestinal; lateral spine egg
    • S. japonicum + mekongi (E Asia) — hepatic + intestinal; round small knob egg
    • S. haematobium (Africa + Mid East) — urinary + bladder SCC; terminal spine egg
  • Snail intermediate host → cercariae penetrate skin in freshwater
  • 3 stages: cercarial dermatitis → Katayama fever (acute, eosinophilia) → chronic complications
  • Hepatic: Symmers’ pipe-stem fibrosis + portal HTN + variceal bleeding + LFTs preserved
  • Urinary: hematuria + bladder calcifications + SCC bladder
  • Neuroschistosomiasis: epilepsy + transverse myelitis (S. japonicum > others)
  • Diagnosis: stool / urine O+P + serology + eosinophilia + US
  • Treatment: Praziquantel 40 mg/kg single dose (mansoni, haematobium); 60 mg/kg (japonicum, mekongi); 85-95% cure
  • MDA programs annual for endemic
236.4.0.0.2 Other Trematodes
  • Fasciola hepatica: watercress + cattle; biliary; triclabendazole
  • Clonorchis + Opisthorchis: undercooked freshwater fish (Asia); biliary + cholangiocarcinoma (WHO Group 1); praziquantel
  • Paragonimus: freshwater crab/crayfish; lung (cough + hemoptysis mimics TB); praziquantel
  • Heterophyes / Metagonimus: undercooked fish; intestinal; praziquantel
236.4.0.0.3 Treatment Summary
  • Schistosoma + most trematodes: Praziquantel
  • Fasciola only: Triclabendazole
  • 盧醫垫 hint: Africa traveler / immigrant + hematuria → S. haematobium; eosinophilia + recent travel + freshwater swim → schistosomiasis workup
