Abstract: During the schistosomiasis infection there is a "dance of the cells", varying from site to site and related to the time of infection. 1--Eosinophil levels exhibit a bimodal pattern, with the first peak related to the egg deposition and maturation and increased Kupfferian hyperplasia; the second peak precedes the death of some adult worms; 2--The peritoneal eosinophilic levels are inversely proportional to the blood eosinophilic levels; 3--Eosinopoiesis in the bone marrow begins at day 40, reaching the highest … Show more

“…As reported by others using more conventional techniques (Lenzi et al, 1987), our data show that schistosome egg deposition in the liver and intestine induces dramatic tissue eosinophilia in these organs (Fig. 2) and induces an accompanying eosinopoietic response in the marrow cavities of the long bones and sternum (Fig.…”

“…2A,C and 5A,C), our results clearly show that, contrary to previous accounts (Lenzi et al, 1987), small but significant eosinophilia and eosinopoiesis are also induced by worms alone, prior to the onset of egg production (Figs. 2B,D and 5B,D).…”

“…This compartmentalisation of the MS response to schistosomal infection appears to be a paradoxical event, considering that the infection disperses eggs and parasitic soluble products to extraintestinal organs (mainly the liver), provoking systemic reactions with intense bone-marrow involvement (Lenzi et al 1987(Lenzi et al , 1995. This paradox is intensified by the presence of anatomical contact between the peritoneal cavity and subpleural lymphatics through the stomata and intercellular gaps between endothelia and mesothelial cells, which allow peritoneal fluid to pass through the diaphragm and enter the pleural cavity (Ohtani et al 1995).…”
