Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | 8, (5), 2019, p. 489-491 | Pages: | 489-491 | Journal: | Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society | Abstract: | Neuroschistosomiasis is a rare but severe manifestation of Schistosoma infection. Diagnosis is challenging and surgical biopsy is often required to confirm diagnosis and exclude malignancy. We present a pediatric case of presumed pseudotumoral cerebral schistosomiasis secondary to Schistosoma mansoni with an excellent therapeutic response to empirical praziquantel and corticosteroid treatment.L6298261062019-11-18 | DOI: | 10.1093/jpids/piz009 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L629826106&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jpids/piz009 | | Keywords: | child;clinical article;contrast enhancement;corticosteroid therapy;electrolyte blood level;eosinophilia;female;headache;human;neuroschistosomiasis;nuclear magnetic resonance imaging;levetiracetam;priority journal;review;Schistosoma mansoni;school child;seizure;serology;temporal lobe;dexamethasoneelectrolyte;olfactory hallucination;praziquantel;basal ganglion;case report | Type: | Article |
