摘要

mekongi 血吸虫病在柬埔寨北部和老挝人民民主共和国南部的有限地区流行。梅孔伊血吸虫病长期得不到治疗会导致严重的肝胆疾病。自 20 世纪 80 年代以来，在流行地区开展了广泛的控制工作，从而大大降低了感染率和疾病负担。我们报告了一名临床评估为致命的慢性血吸虫病患者。该报告强调，湄公河地区可能仍然存在严重的慢性血吸虫病患者，他们可能需要治疗支持。

Elimination of schistosomiasis mekongi in reach for Lao PDR: The last patient with severe disease?

Schistosomiasis mekongi is endemic in a restricted area in Northern Cambodia and the Southern Lao People's Democratic Republic. Severe hepatobiliary morbidity is associated with chronic untreated S. mekongi infection. Since the 1980s extensive control efforts have been employed in endemic areas, resulting in substantial reduction of infection rates and disease burden. We report on a patient with a fatal course of clinically-assessed chronic schistosomiasis. This report underscores that patients with severe chronic Mekong schistosomiasis may still exist and may need treatment support.
