Abstract
In this paper we summarise the parasitological, clinical and epidemiological characteristics of female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), a frequent manifestation of the infection with Schistosoma haematobium. Means to diagnose and treat lesions in the lower and upper genital tract are discussed. Based on clinical findings and available pathophysiological as well as immunological data it is conceivable that FGS of the cervix and vagina not only facilitates the infection with agents of sexually transmitted diseases, but presumably also alters the natural history of such infections. Two infectious agents are of particular concern: the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and the oncogenic Human Papilloma Viruses. Possible interactions and their consequences are discussed and research areas which should be addressed are outlined.

Based on clinical findings and available pathophysiological as well as immunological data it is conceivable that FGS of the cervix and vagina not only facilitates the infection with agents of sexually transmitted diseases, but presumably also alters the natural history of such infections. Two infectious agents are of particular concern: the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and the oncogenic Human Papilloma Viruses. Possible interactions and their consequences are discussed and research areas which should be addressed are outlined.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract><ce:keywords class="keyword"><ce:section-title>Keywords</ce:section-title><ce:keyword><ce:text>Schistosomiasis</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>Genital disease</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>Women</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>HIV</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>HPV</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>Cervical cancer</ce:text></ce:keyword><ce:keyword><ce:text>Infertility</ce:text></ce:keyword></ce:keywords></head></converted-article></istex:document></istex:metadataXml><mods version="3.6"><titleInfo lang="en"><title>Female genital schistosomiasis: facts and hypotheses</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="alternative" lang="en" contentType="CDATA"><title>Female genital schistosomiasis: facts and hypotheses</title></titleInfo><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">Gabriele</namePart><namePart type="family">Poggensee</namePart><affiliation>E-mail: gabriele.poggensee@charite.de</affiliation><affiliation>Institute of Tropical Medicine and Medical Faculty Charité, Humboldt-University, Berlin, Germany</affiliation><description>Corresponding author.

Means to diagnose and treat lesions in the lower and upper genital tract are discussed. Based on clinical findings and available pathophysiological as well as immunological data it is conceivable that FGS of the cervix and vagina not only facilitates the infection with agents of sexually transmitted diseases, but presumably also alters the natural history of such infections. Two infectious agents are of particular concern: the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and the oncogenic Human Papilloma Viruses. Possible interactions and their consequences are discussed and research areas which should be addressed are outlined.</abstract><note type="content">Section title: Review Article</note><note type="content">Fig. 1: Female pelvis venous vasculature (from Poggensee et al., 1999).</note><note type="content">Fig. 2: Geographic distribution of FGS in Africa (dotted area: S. haematobium endemic countries with FGS case reports; stripped areas: S. haematobium endemic countries (prevalence>10%).</note><note type="content">Fig. 3: Putative relationships between female genital schistosomiasis and HPV infection in the natural history of cervical cancer.</note><note type="content">Table 1: Anatomical distribution of FGS according to histopathological and post-mortem studies in various endemic areas (percentages are given in brackets; multiple mentioning of organs possible)</note><note type="content">Table 2: Occurrence of FGS detected in surgically removed specimens and cervical smears</note><note type="content">Table 3: Prevalence studies on FGS of the lower genital tract based on biopsies</note><note type="content">Table 4: Presumable enhancing effects of FGS on HIV infection</note><note type="content">Table 5: Operational contraints in FGS control measures</note><note type="content">Table 6: Research needed</note><subject lang="en"><genre>Keywords</genre><topic>Schistosomiasis</topic><topic>Genital disease</topic><topic>Women</topic><topic>HIV</topic><topic>HPV</topic><topic>Cervical cancer</topic><topic>Infertility</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Acta Tropica</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>ACTROP</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal">journal</genre><originInfo><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">20010622</dateIssued></originInfo><identifier type="ISSN">0001-706X</identifier><identifier type="PII">S0001-706X(00)X0065-4</identifier><part><date>20010622</date><detail type="volume"><number>79</number><caption>vol.</caption></detail><detail type="issue"><number>3</number><caption>no.</caption></detail><extent unit="issue pages"><start>193</start><end>272</end></extent><extent unit="pages"><start>193</start><end>210</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">B3E9EF5F4A88969A9E04BB2EF01FD4E04396A0AA</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1016/S0001-706X(01)00086-9</identifier><identifier type="PII">S0001-706X(01)00086-9</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">1108</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">©2001 Elsevier Science B.V.</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource>ELSEVIER</recordContentSource><recordOrigin>Elsevier Science B.V., ©2001</recordOrigin></recordInfo></mods></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
