Presentation of polyarthritis in patients with Schistosoma Mansoni
Keywords:
reactive arthritis, parasites, Schistosoma MansoniAbstract
Several parasites are described as causing reactive arthritis and Schistosoma Mansoni present few descriptions in the literature regarding their muscle-skeletal manifestations. Arthritis can be oligo or polyarticular, symmetrical, mimicking rheumatoid arthritis and the antiparasitic treatment make the osteoarticular symptoms yield without sequela. We present a 45 year old female patient, presenting joint pain and swelling of the left shoulder, hands and knees, synovitis of the wrists, PIP and MCP, with associated abdominal pain, diarrhea and bleeding caused by Schistosoma Mansoni.Downloads
