Descriptor neuroesquistosomiasis
Entry term(s) esquistosomiasis del sistema nervioso central
mielopatía esquistosómica
Scope note: ESQUISTOSOMIASIS del cerebro, la médula espinal o las meninges causada por infecciones por trematodos del género ESQUISTOSOMA (principalmente ESQUISTOSOMA JAPONICUM, ESQUISTOSOMA MANSONI y ESQUISTOSOMA HAEMATOBIUM en los seres humanos). Las infecciones del sistema nervioso producidas por S. japonicum pueden causar una meningoencefalitis aguda o una encefalopatía crónica. Las infecciones del sistema nervioso por S. mansoni y S. haematobium se asocian a mielitis transversa aguda que afecta a las zonas inferiores de la médula espinal.

Scope note: SCHISTOSOMIASIS of the brain, spinal cord, or meninges caused by infections with trematodes of the genus SCHISTOSOMA (primarily SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM; SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI; and SCHISTOSOMA HAEMATOBIUM in humans). S. japonicum infections of the nervous system may cause an acute meningoencephalitis or a chronic encephalopathy. S. mansoni and S. haematobium nervous system infections are associated with acute transverse myelitis involving the lower portions of the spinal cord.
