  • Title: [Bacterio-parasitic interactions. Enterobacteria and schistosomes (Salmonella - schistosome association)].
    Author: Penaud A, Nourrit J, Chapoy P, Alessandrini P, Louchet E, Nicoli RM.
    Journal: Med Trop (Mars); 1983; 43(4):331-40. PubMed ID: 6645880.
    Abstract:
    The description of a case imported from Chad of an association of Salmonella typhi - Schistosoma haematobium and, in this connection, a new revised general account. The association Salmonella-Schistomas is wide-spread. It corresponds to a salmonello - schistosomo - micro - association by the fixation of precise bacteria in the case of a bacteriemia on the cutaneous surface of male schistosomes in clearly defined places. These Salmonella constitute a permanent antigenic solicitation and they are capable of mobilization and rejection (bacteriuria after passage through the blood-stream) whereas bacteriosis remains asymptomatic. In fact, on the practical level, a clear and absolute distinction must be made between:--the bacteriemia with the concomitant bacteriuria, which are largely physiological in nature, very frequent and originating from various germs, connected with the emunctory function of the kidneys and which can be observed in any subject.--the schistosomal bacteriuria which are specific entities and evidence of a veritable micro-association of a symbiotic nature between the Salmonella and the schistosome, a micro-association which the bacteriuria reveals unexpectedly whereas the clinical symptoms are absent, not clearly discernible or totally misleading.
