We report a case of Schistosoma mansoni bilharziasis in a HIV patient 38 y after leaving an endemic region. A viable S. mansoni egg on a liver biopsy sample was diagnostic. Despite severe concomitant immunodeficiency the effective treatment was a single dose of praziquantel. Worms' intravascular longevity and the role of immunodeficiency as a possible factor in eggs retention after such prolonged latent schistosomiasis are discussed.
我们报告了一例曼氏血吸虫病病例,患者在离开流行地区38年后确诊感染HIV。肝活检样本中发现有活力的曼氏血吸虫卵是确诊依据。尽管患者伴有严重的免疫缺陷,但单剂量吡喹酮治疗仍有效。本文还讨论了蠕虫在血管内的存活时间,以及免疫缺陷作为长期潜伏性血吸虫病后虫卵滞留可能因素的作用。
