Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of urogenital schistosomiasis include scarring patterns of bladder wall. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of intestinal schistosomiasis (periportal fibrosis) include multiple echogenic areas, each with central echolucency.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis.[1][2]
- Abdominal ultrasound findings suggestive of intestinal schistosomiasis (periportal fibrosis) include multiple echogenic areas, each with central echo-lucency.
- Urogenital ultrasonography may demonstrate scarring patterns of bladder characteristic of urogenital schistosomiasis.
- Urogenital ultrasonography is more sensitive than intravenous pyelography and plain radiography for detection of urinary tract pathologies.
