Schistosomiasis – Bilharzia, Bilharziosis or Snail Fever (all types)
Common Name of Organism | Latin Name | Body Parts Affected | Diagnosis Type | Where Found | Source of Parasite |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Schistosomiasis – bilharzia, bilharziosis or snail fever (all types) | Schistosoma sp, | Digestive tract, urinary tract, intestines, liver, lungs, brain | Stool, urine, FAST-ELISA, ultrasound, CT | Africa, Caribbean, eastern South America, east Asia, Southeast Asia, Middle East – 200 million people | Skin exposure to water contaminated with infected freshwater snails |
Dormancy Period: 30 years or longer, with a large host of related diseases.
Many individuals do not experience symptoms. If symptoms do appear, they usually take 4–6 weeks from the time of infection. Schistosomes can live an average of 3–5 years, and the eggs can survive for more than 30 years after infection. S. haematobium completes it life cycle in humans, as definitive hosts, and freshwater snails, as intermediate hosts, just like other schistosomes. But unlike other schistosomes that release eggs in the intestine, it releases its eggs in the urinary tract and excrete along with the urine.
Adults are found in the venous plexuses around the urinary bladder and the released eggs travels to the wall of the urine bladder causing haematuria and fibrosis of the bladder. The bladder becomes calcified, and there is increased pressure on ureters and kidneys otherwise known as hydronephrosis. Inflammation of the genitals due to S. haematobium may contribute to the propagation of HIV.
Neurological side effects may include:Â Spinal cord inflammation (transverse myelitis) may occur if worms or eggs travel to the spinal cord during this acute phase of infection, Headaches, Disturbances of sensorium, Hemiplegia, Tetraplegia, Visual impairment, Ataxia/ speech impairment, Motor paralysis.
Cardiac side effects may include: Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Asymptomatic myocardial ischemia.
