Advanced schistosomiasis is the most serious clinical type of schistosomiasis. Its diagnosis and treatment are related to many special departments, such as gastroenterology, general surgery, neurology, endocrinology, radiology, traditional Chinese medicine, blood purification, endoscopy, intervention, and ICU. It is necessary to apply a multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) mode. However, the mode has no universal standard and guide in practice. It is very important for the implementation of MDT mode of advanced schistosomiasis to form a treatment expert team, formulate the formal working procedures, and standardize the treatment schedules. The standardized implementation of MDT mode will be important to provide a more effective clinical decision on advanced schistosomiasis.
