Schistosoma infection, also known as bilharziasis, is frequently linked to multiple urolithiasis (urinary stones). This study suggests bilharziasis plays a role in the formation of urinary calculi, particularly multiple stones.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Urolithiasis, the presence of urinary stones, affects a significant number of patients undergoing surgical treatment.
  • Multiple urolithiasis presents a complex clinical challenge, often with multifactorial causes.
  • Schistosoma infection (bilharziasis) is a widespread parasitic disease with potential systemic implications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between Schistosoma infection and the occurrence of urolithiasis, specifically multiple urolithiasis.
  • To explore the role of bilharziasis in the pathogenesis of urinary stone formation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 780 patients operated on for lithiasis.
  • Identification of patients with multiple urolithiasis.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Assessment of the prevalence of Schistosoma infection in patients with urolithiasis.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 780 patients operated on for lithiasis, 97 (12.4%) presented with multiple urolithiasis.
    • Multiple urolithiasis was frequently associated with Schistosoma infection.
    • Theoretical considerations support the role of bilharziasis in calculus formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Schistosoma infection (bilharziasis) is a significant contributing factor in the development of multiple urolithiasis.
    • Understanding the link between parasitic infections and urolithiasis is crucial for effective prevention and treatment strategies.
