54
Q

What is Pathology for Schistosoma japonicum?

A

Eggs lack spines so can be transported with the blood most pathology is due to immune response
Schistosomiasis 3 phases:
Migratory-cercaria migrate humoral immune response

Acute-egg production triggers fever, chills, fatigue, headache, malaise, aches, and stomach discomfort.

Chronic- Occurs where parasite is endemic causes Ascites, enlargement of spleen and liver, granulomas, dwarfism. If eggs go to the brain- fatal

55

61
Q

What is Pathology for Schistosoma mansoni?

68
Q

What is Pathology for Schistosoma haematobium?

A

Most pathology is due to the body’s immune response. Eggs have a sharp terminal spine and tend to lodge in the walls of the bladder. . The immune system walls them off in granulomas which causes calcification of the bladder, seminal vesicles, urethra, and ureters. Causes Schistosomiasis same as others except that chronic doesn’t cause ascites or enlargement of spleen/liver. may cause bladder cancer

69
Q
