1. Characterisation of ocular involvement in an experimental model of neuroschistosomiasis mansoni
The Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 listed schistosomiasis among the leading 100 causes of death in Brazil, responsible for 3.6% of the estimated total of deaths globally. Eye and adnexa are very rarely affected by schistosomiasis mansoni, with limited documentation of ocular pathology in this setting. This short communication reports ocular histolopatho

2. Prevalence of urodynamic changes with risk for upper urinary tract damage in neuroschistosomiasis patients
Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to identify the prevalence of urodynamic changes with an associated risk of developing upper urinary tract damage in neuroschistosomiasis patients. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted, wherein68 patients were admitted for analysis of urodynamics, urea and creatinine levels, and uroculture. RESULTS: Blood test

3. Brain schistosomiasis in mice experimentally infected with Schistosoma mansoni
Introduction Human neuroschistosomiasis has been reported in the literature, but the possibility of modeling neuroschistosomiasis in mice is controversial. Methods In two research laboratories in Brazil that maintain the Schistosoma mansoni life cycle in rodents, two mice developed signs of brain disease (hemiplegia and spinning), and both were autopsied.

4. Pseudotumoral form of neuroschistosomiasis: report of three cases
Central nervous system (CSN) involvement in schistosomiasis is an ectopic manifestation with a large variety of clinical forms, including pseudotumoral, which occurs in isolated cases and is rare. Three patients with epidemiological indications of this pathology were examined; the clinical picture included lower-back pain irradiating to lower limbs, associat

5. Study on the occurence of spinal cord neuroschistosomiasis mansoni in a low prevalence area (Campinas, SP, Brazil) / Investigação sobre a ocorrencia de eaquistossomose mansonica medular autoctonse em uma região com baixa endemicidade (Campinas - SP)
Os programas de controle da esquistossomose têm obtido relativo sucesso ao controlar a morbidade relacionada a altas cargas parasitárias desta doença, sem, no entanto, diminuir a área de transmissão no Brasil. Como a neuroesquistossomose medular á uma forma grave de esquistossomose não relacionada a altas cargas parasitárias existe risco teórico de

6. Morbidity of schistosomiasis mansoni in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil
From 2002 to 2005, a program of active search for patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis and schistosomal myeloradiculopathy has been implemented in the state of Minas Gerais by the local Health Department. The state was divided in 28 regional health centers and the local representatives have been trained to identify and direct patients with hepatosplen

8. Involvement of central nervous system in the schistosomiasis
The involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) by schistosomes may or may not determine clinical manifestations. When symptomatic, neuroschistosomiasis (NS) is one of the most severe presentations of schistosomal infection. Considering the symptomatic form, cerebral involvement is almost always due to Schistosoma japonicum and the spinal cord disease, c

9. Experimental Neuroschistosomiasis: Inadequacy of the Murine Model
Neuroschistosomiasis is rarely observed in human pathology, but it is of considerable importance. To investigate its pathogenesis, consequences and response to treatment, an experimental model would be desirable, but is not yet available, in spite of a few indications of a suitable mouse model in the literature. Severe, recent and late Schistosoma mansoni in

10. Reação de imunofluorescência indireta e reação imunoenzimática no diagnóstico da neuroesquistossomose mansônica. / Indirect immunofluorescent and immunoenzyme reaction in diagnosis of neuroschistosomiasis manson.
A neuroesquistossomose é uma das manifestações ectópicas da esquistossomose. Das cinco principais espécies que causam doença no homem, apenas a espécie Schistosoma mansoni está presente no Brasil. E uma estimativa atual da prevalência desta parasitose em nosso meio gira é de 9 a 10%. Portanto, a manifestação neurológica da esquistossomose, apesa
