Abstract

In hospital-based series viral hepatitis B has been frequently
described in association with schistosomiasis whilst in field-based
studies the association has not been confirmed. The association
between schistosomiasis and Salmonella bacteraemia has been
well documented. More recently, acute schistosomiasis has been shown
to be a facilitating factor in the genesis of pyogenic liver abscesses
caused by Staphylococcus aureus. New evidences indicate an
interaction between the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and
schistosomiasis. In this paper, data on the association of
schistosomiasis with other infections are updated.

Keywords
