  • Title: Myeloradicular Form of Neuroschistosomiasis in a Six-Year-Old Boy Infected With Schistosoma mansoni.
    Author: Salgado JV, Salgado IA, Braga Júnior LL, Serra SC, Barros VM, Silva MJ, Monteiro-Neto V.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2015 Dec; 34(12):1409-11. PubMed ID: 26780026.
    Abstract:
    Neuroschistosomiasis is a severe disease caused by the presence of Schistosoma eggs and/or adult worms in the central nervous system. Schistosomal transverse myelitis represents a rare clinical form with nonspecific clinical findings, and it is thus underdiagnosed, especially in children. In this report, we describe a 6-year-old patient with the myeloradicular form of neuroschistosomiasis.
