Schistosomóza je parazitární onemocnění endemické v oblastech tropů a subtropů. Vzhledem k rostoucí zálibě našich občanů cestovat do vzdálených zemí se s touto helmintózou můžeme setkat i v České republice, dosud však u nás byly diagnostikovány pouze typické infekce spojené s postižením jater, trávicího nebo močového traktu. Při schistosomóze může být ale postižena celá řada orgánů a může být přítomna řada symptomů, ty však nebývají se schistozomózou spojovány. Proto jsme se v našem sdělení zaměřily především na méně známou formu postižení genitálního traktu žen. Uvádíme možné klinické projevy této nákazy, možnosti diagnostiky a terapie.

Schistosoma - Fluke in the Medical Practice

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease endemic in tropics and subtropics. Due to growing demands on travelling to distant countries, schistosomiasis is occasionaly detected in the Czech Republic, however, only urine, intestinal or liver disorders were observed till present. But, during the infection many other organs can be affected and, therefore, a variety of symptoms can accompany the disease. However, in such cases most of these symptoms are usually not associated with schistosome infection in a routine practice. In the present paper we focus our attention on less known problem of female genital schistosomiasis. The aim of the review was to present such health complications which can be overlooked in the gynecological practice and, therefore, potential clinical symptoms, diagnosis and therapeutic possibilities of the disease are described.
