Resumo(s)
Background: At present schistosomiasis is endemic in 78 countries, affecting more than 260 million people. Schistosomiasis haematobia
alone affects more than 112 millions.
Evidence Acquisition: We performed a computerized search of in PubMed database with keywords: Bladder Cancer Cost and Schistosomiasis
Mass Treatment.
Results: Bladder cancer is an important sequelae of this infection. In low-resource countries, where this disease is endemic, individuals
inflicted with bladder cancer have very limited access to treatment and death is most probably certain.
Conclusions: Mass treatment with praziquantel is an easy, safe, and inexpensive treatment that could save the lives of thousands
and reduce the morbidity of millions.
