Overview
Schistosomiasis must be differentiated from tapeworm infections that cause abdominal pain, fever, chills, cough, and muscle aches such as diphyllobothriasis, hymenolepiasis, and taeniasis.
Schistosomiasis differential diagnosis
Schistosomiasis must be differentiated from tapeworm infections that cause abdominal pain, fever, chills, cough, and muscle aches such as like diphyllobothriasis, hymenolepiasis, and taeniasis. The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate schistosomiasis from other conditions that may cause abdominal pain, fever, chills, cough, and muscle aches.[1]
Infections | Common causative threadworms | Suggestive findings | Diagnostic approach | Treatment |
---|---|---|---|---|
Schistosomiasis | (Schistosoma japonicum,Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium) |
|
||
Taeniasis | Taenia solium and Taenia saginata |
|
||
Diphyllobothriasis | Diphyllobothrium latum and Diphyllobothrium latum |
|
||
Hymenolepiasis | Hymenolepis nana |
