UNLABELLED
The urbanization process of schistosomiasis has been described in the literature. The present report shows and discusses some epidemiological aspects of neuroschistosomiasis that emphasizes this trend.
METHOD
The study was done between July, 2005 and June, 2006, and consisted of spinal cord schistosomiasis carriers at the moment of diagnosis. These patients were evaluated whatever the origin and period of the year that they developed the symptoms.
RESULTS
A total of 13 patients were evaluated. Ten cases (76.92%) came from the Metropolitan Region of Recife, while the other zones (Zona da Mata, Agreste e Sertão) contributed with just three cases (23.07%). October, November and December (post rainy period) concentrated the majority of the cases (61.54%).
CONCLUSION
The high spatial and temporal concentration of cases in relation to a recent endemic area for Schistosomiasis suggests that the immunological status may be an important factor for installation of Sschistosomal myelitis.
未标注
文献中已描述了血吸虫病的城市化进程。本报告展示并讨论了神经血吸虫病的一些流行病学方面，强调了这一趋势。
方法
该研究于2005年7月至2006年6月进行，研究对象为诊断时的脊髓血吸虫病携带者。无论这些患者症状出现的来源和时间，均对其进行评估。
结果
共评估了13例患者。10例（76.92%）来自累西腓大都市区，而其他地区（马塔区、阿格雷斯特和塞托）仅有3例（23.07%）。10月、11月和12月（雨季过后）集中了大部分病例（61.54%）。
结论
与近期血吸虫病流行地区相比，病例在空间和时间上的高度集中表明，免疫状态可能是血吸虫性脊髓炎发病的一个重要因素。
