  • Title: [A survey of schistosomiasis in Ivory Coast (author's transl)].
    Author: Nozais JP, Doucet J, Dunand J.
    Journal: Med Trop (Mars); 1980; 40(1):41-4. PubMed ID: 6245322.
    Abstract:
    S. intercalatum has not yet been observed in Ivory Coast whereas S. mansoni and S. haematobium are frequent. S. mansoni schistosomiasis is distributed in limited foci as a consequence of the vital requirements of Biomphalaria. Its clinical detection is uneasy and stool control is necessary. Kato's technique is recommended. Prevalence has great topographic variations with an average value of 0,7 p. 100. Complications are not frequent, and can be detected only with rather sophisticated techniques available only in hospital. S. haematobium schistosomiasis is much more widespread according to the strong resistence of the mollusc host. Its clinical syndrome is significant and the diagnosis is easily controlled by a microscopic examination of the urine centrifugation deposit. The average prevalence is about 20-25 p. 100. Detection of complication requires hospital equipments.
