热带性截瘫：一例横贯性脊髓炎，可能由曼氏血吸虫病引起。

Paraplegia. 1978 May;16(1):113-7. doi: 10.1038/sc.1978.17.

In tropical regions transverse myelitis may be caused by involvement with schistosoma or the eggs of this organism. Although 200 million people seem to be infected with this disease, involvement of the spinal cord is rare. A case of a 15-year-old boy is described and some literature reviewed.

在热带地区，横贯性脊髓炎可能由感染血吸虫或该生物体的虫卵引起。尽管约有2亿人似乎感染了这种疾病，但脊髓受累情况却很罕见。本文描述了一名15岁男孩的病例并对一些文献进行了综述。
