“…The relationship of schistosomiasis and hepatic pyogenic abscess has been well documented in medical literature from clinical (Lambertucci et al 1997(Lambertucci et al , 2001) and experimental studies (Teixeira et al 2001) with Staphylococcus aureus as the main agent.…”

Experimental models of Schistosoma mansoni infections in mammals have contributed greatly in understanding the pathology and pathogenesis of human infection. The absence of earlier reviews regarding specific strains of the Amazon region prompted research, which the main objective was to describe histopathological lesions in different phases of schistosomiasis in a murine model using PC (Pará) and LILA (Maranhão) S. mansoni strains. One hundred and eighty young female albino swiss mice (Mus musculus) were used and were randomly divided into five groups and controls), according to the number of cercariae injected and the strain adopted. Animals were sacrificed in predetermined periods (35, 56, 112, 156, and 180 days) in an attempt to follow the evolution of the disease in the histological sections of their tissues at different phases of infection. Our findings were compatible with the data already described by others authors using different strains of S. mansoni, making it possible to identify some peculiarities, which are discussed in this work. In conclusion, the strains of parasite used did not modify the histopathological findings in the tissues of infected mice in any significant way when compared with the results of other studies using different strains.

“…No nosso meio, o estudo da hipertensão portal assume importância pela alta incidência da esquistossomose mansônica, estimada em 3 a 4 milhões de pessoas parasitadas (12) . Com o programa de controle da esquistossomose, implantado no Brasil em 1975, foram tratados com esquistossomicidas cerca de 11 milhões de indivíduos, em especial nos Estados nordestinos (5) . Provavelmente, em decorrência deste programa, temos observado na última década, no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, redução significativa de pacientes com esquistossomose na fase hepatoesplênica.…”

Schistosomiasis mansoni has been described as a predisposing factor for pyogenic liver abscess formation. Previous experimental studies have shown that acute schistosomiasis concurrent with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia favors the colonization of the liver by the bacteria, and subsequent pyogenic liver abscess formation. In addition, clinical studies and case reports have demonstrated the association of schistosomiasis mansoni with pyogenic liver abscesses. We describe a Brazilian patient with chronic schistosomiasis mansoni who developed recurrent pyogenic liver abscesses due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The authors review the clinical, diagnostic and treatment aspects of patients with schistosomiasis and pyogenic liver abscess reported in the medical literature.
