After recreational exposure to river water in Uganda, 12 (17%) of 69 persons had evidence of schistosome infection. Eighteen percent self-medicated with praziquantel prophylaxis immediately after exposure, which was not appropriate. Travelers to schistosomiasis-endemic areas should consult a travel medicine physician.
在乌干达接触河流水体后,69 名参与者中有 12 人(17%)出现了血吸虫感染的证据。18%的参与者在接触后立即自行使用了吡喹酮进行预防治疗,但这种做法并不恰当。前往血吸虫病流行地区的旅行者应咨询旅行医学医生。
