Schistosomiasis is one of the most widespread parasitic infections in man. Neuroschistosomiasis, referring to schistosomal involvement of the central nervous system, is an uncommon but well recognised complication of schistosomal infection. The duration between time of infection and onset of neurological symptoms typically varies between weeks to months. We describe a case of transverse myelitis secondary to neuroschistosomiasis, presenting more than three years after the time of initial schistosomal infection, diagnosed and treated in the district general hospital setting.
血吸虫病是人类中最广泛传播的寄生虫感染之一。神经血吸虫病是指血吸虫侵犯中枢神经系统，是一种虽不常见但已得到充分认识的血吸虫感染并发症。感染时间与神经症状出现之间的间隔通常在数周数月之间。我们描述了一例继发于神经血吸虫病的横贯性脊髓炎病例，在初次血吸虫感染三年多后出现症状，在地区综合医院得到诊断和治疗。
