Está desaparecendo a glomerulopatia da esquistossomose mansônica?

Abstract: Já se sabe, de há muitos anos, que 10-15% dos doentes com hepatoesplenomegalia esquistossomótica apresentam uma glomerulopatia que se manifesta, na maioria dos casos, por uma síndrome nefrótica 4 . Trata-se de uma glomerulonefrite, com depósito de antígeno específico do Schistosoma mansoni nos capilares glomerulares, que, quando se manifesta clinicamente, apresenta evolução progressiva, conduzindo o doente ao estádio final da doença renal, exigindo tratamento dialítico ou transplante renal 5 . Infelizmente, es… Show more

“…Schistosomal cor pulmonale is now a rarity according to all the colleagues consulted for this report. Interestingly schistosomal glomerulopathy continues to affect about 12% of hepatosplenic patients, the same as before (Correia et al 1997). However, such glomerulopathy is now less frequently seen, since the overall number of hepatosplenic cases decreased, as seen in Table IV, taken from Correia et al (1997).…”

“…This situation sometimes correlated with mass chemotherapy, but, in other instances, rather with general environmental measures. (from Correia et al 1997) Recently, Bina (1995) made an extensive field study in an endemic area of Bahia, controlling the transmission with molluscicides during 10 years and extending the observations to 5 years more after interruption of molluscicide application. His conclusions are important in stressing the importance of both chemotherapy and environmental modification on the prevalence of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis.…”

“…According to post-mortem [7] and clinical studies from Latin America [6,8] and Egypt [9] , 12–15% of patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis develop histologically documented glomerular lesions. This relative frequency has not changed over the years [10,11] , though its epidemiological impact has regressed owing the decline in the overall prevalence of schistosomiasis [12] . The role of schistosomiasis in the pathogenesis of ‘steroid-resistant’ nephrotic syndrome in Subsaharan Africa remains controversial.…”

“…Cruz JIN, et al Retrocesso do Programa de Controle da Esquistossomose no estado de maior prevalência da doença no Brasil No que diz respeito à gravidade da infecção, este estudo expôs um aumento na carga parasitária, passando de 5,4% (2009) para 11,9% (2013), com valores mantendo-se superiores a 8% desde 2013, em contramão com a redução histórica observada em outros estados brasileiros após a adoção dos programas de controle 34,47 . O aumento da carga parasitária mostrou correlação com a redução das atividades do Programa e do número de exames realizados.…”
