Preferred Label : neuroschistosomiasis;
MeSH definition : SCHISTOSOMIASIS of the brain, spinal cord, or meninges caused by infections with trematodes
of the genus SCHISTOSOMA (primarily SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM; SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI; and
SCHISTOSOMA HAEMATOBIUM in humans). S. japonicum infections of the nervous system
may cause an acute meningoencephalitis or a chronic encephalopathy. S. mansoni and
S. haematobium nervous system infections are associated with acute transverse myelitis
involving the lower portions of the spinal cord. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology,
1998, Ch27, pp61-2);
MeSH synonym : schistosomiasis, central nervous system; neuroschistosomiases; central nervous system schistosomiasis;
