Schistosomotic choroiditis. I. Funduscopic changes and differential diagnosis.

Abstract: SUMMARY This paper presents the results of biomicroscopy and funduscopy on five patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis mansoni. Fluorescein angioretinography was performed on two patients. All cases showed yellowish white multiple billateral nodules of various sizes, located in the choroidal plane. The nature and differential diagnosis of these nodules is discussed, and the suggestion is made that they represent cases of schistosomotic nodular choroiditis.

“…5b) in contrast with nonbifurcated tail of those of Philophthalmus genus in only one of the 530 examined snails. Morphological examination also excluded Schistosoma mansoni cercariae, which have been demonstrated to cause ocular disease in Brazil [35,36]. Nevertheless, there was some similarity with Cercaria caratinguensis group, which was ruled out by molecular analysis.…”
