Schistosomiasis infection can affect the lungs, causing acute (Katayama syndrome) or chronic conditions. Awareness is crucial for global clinicians due to increased travel.

Area of Science:

  • Tropical medicine
  • Infectious diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Schistosomiasis is a significant parasitic disease with frequent pulmonary manifestations.
  • Pulmonary involvement can present in acute and chronic forms, impacting global health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the acute and chronic forms of pulmonary schistosomiasis.
  • To highlight the clinical significance and diagnostic considerations for global health professionals.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations and pathological findings in pulmonary schistosomiasis.
  • Discussion of epidemiological factors and global health implications.

Main Results:

  • Acute pulmonary schistosomiasis (Katayama syndrome) results from allergic reactions to Schistosoma worms or eggs.

  • Chronic forms include pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale, granulomatous disease, and arteriovenous fistulas.
  • Pulmonary infiltrations can recur post-treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pulmonary schistosomiasis presents diverse clinical forms requiring medical awareness.
    • Globalization and travel necessitate vigilance for this endemic disease among clinicians worldwide.
