Diagnosis Of Schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis (also called bilharzia) is a major intravascular infection that has serious public health consequences, with significant socioeconomic impacts, in the developing world. It is one of the most prevalent, though neglected, of the tropical infectious diseases. More than 240 million people in 78 countries are infected, and close to 800 million are at risk. Tegument proteins and miRNAs are promising markers for diagnosis of schistosomiasis. Here we review the diagnostic methods for schistosomiasis mansoni aiming to reach a standardized technique for diagnosis of early infection to help better control of the disease. The disease is also associated with anaemia, chronic pain, diarrhoea, exercise intolerance, and undernutrition, and female urogenital schistosomiasis may be a risk factor for HIV infection.
