Katayama fever

01/01/2001 - "In previous studies it was shown that the recombinant molecule, r-Sm14, induces high levels of protection against Schistosoma mansoni infection in two outbred animal models and immune crossprotection against infection by Fasciola hepatica in Swiss outbred mice. "
09/01/2011 - "This study quantifies the rate and intensity of re-infection with human hookworm and Schistosoma mansoni infection 12 months following successful treatment, and investigates the influence of socio-economic, geographical and environmental factors. "
05/01/2011 - "In this study, we delineate the role of the innate immunoreceptor TREM-1 in the parasite Schistosoma mansoni infection model from early to late (chronic) phases of infection. "
11/01/2008 - "There has been no systematic study of the immune response of individuals over 60 residing in areas endemic for Schistosoma mansoni infection although senescence is reportedly associated with susceptibility to infection and progressive decline in immune function. "
10/01/1992 - "The study included clinical and quantitative fecal examination, skin test for Schistosoma mansoni infection, evaluation of man-water contact of the total population (829 persons) in the three localities and other epidemiological investigations such as infection rate and dynamics of the snail population. "

10/01/2003 - "In light of reports that schistosomiasis is associated with alterations in nutritional status, and considering that the assessment of body composition and water spaces is important for nutritional and hydration management, we conducted a study to evaluate the reproducibility of estimates of total body water, extracellular water, and intracellular water for Egyptians with Schistosoma mansoni infection using various bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) formulae in comparison with reference values obtained using dilution techniques. "
08/01/1999 - "A recently reported epidemic of Schistosoma mansoni infection in Senegal provided an opportunity to study the dynamics of the development of immunity to human schistosomiasis. "
11/01/1980 - "The Boqueron Schistosomiasis Project is a prospective community-based study of Schistosoma mansoni infection after the interruption of transmission by nonchemotherapeutic control measures. "
05/01/2015 - "Schistosoma mansoni infection is proven to be a major health problem of preschool-age children in sub-Saharan Africa, yet this age category is not part of the schistosomiasis control program. "
08/01/2014 - "The specific diagnosis of early schistosomiasis and Katayama fever relies essentially on serologic tests or preferably on PCR (if available). "

01/01/2004 - "The incidences of schistosomiasis and multiple sclerosis (MS) are mutually exclusive worldwide suggesting that schistosomiasis may offer protection against the induction of the immune-mediated disease, MS. Recent studies using the mouse model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, support a direct suppression of the onset of MS by chronic Schistosoma mansoni infection. "

Recent studies using the mouse model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, support a direct suppression of the onset of MS by chronic Schistosoma mansoni infection. "

01/01/1987 - "The rates of Schistosoma mansoni infection and splenomegaly were higher in families whose heads were manual workers, in individuals living in houses without piped water and of poor construction, and in those who were born in Comercinho. "
12/01/1985 - "Sera from 124 adult Kenyan patients with chronic splenomegaly and from 93 geographically matched controls without splenomegaly were tested for evidence of Schistosoma mansoni infection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). "
01/01/1995 - "The rate of Schistosoma mansoni infection was 50.3%; the peak of infection occurred during the second decade of life; there was a predominance of low egg counts in faeces (85.89% of positive patients eliminated less than 500 eggs per gram of faeces); the splenomegaly rate was 1.23%. "
04/01/2015 - "We report a case of a patient with Schistosoma mansoni infection who presented with liver cirrhosis and splenomegaly. "
