Genital schistosomiasis in non-endemic settings: a clinical perspective.
Genital schistosomiasis, caused mainly by infection with Schistosoma haematobium flukes, causes a variety of symptoms and significant complications in men and women. With high levels of migration from sub-Saharan Africa to Europe and North America, genital schistosomiasis is likely to be encountered more frequently by clinicians in non-endemic areas. In this article, we review the current knowledge of genital schistosomiasis in non-endemic areas, available guidelines and barriers to clinical care of patients. Future work to address these barriers will likely improve care for patients with this neglected and stigmatized disease.
期刊介绍:
Parasitology is an important specialist journal covering the latest advances in the subject. It publishes original research and review papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in parasite biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, ecology and epidemiology in the context of the biological, medical and veterinary sciences. Included in the subscription price are two special issues which contain reviews of current hot topics, one of which is the proceedings of the annual Symposia of the British Society for Parasitology, while the second, covering areas of significant topical interest, is commissioned by the editors and the editorial board.
