Abstract

Author summaryHepatosplenic schistosomiasis is a severe form of chronic infection with various trematodes of the genus Schistosoma, characterized by portal venous fibrosis, splenomegaly with hypersplenism, and portal hypertension with subsequent life-threatening bleeding events. While effective anthelminthic treatment is available, portal fibrosis is only partially reversible. Portal hypertension with subsequent bleeding events as a complication is hitherto insufficiently addressed. Surgical techniques are currently the best established treatment option for HSS, despite their inherent complication risk and irreversibility. Interventional procedures like TIPS have rarely been assessed in HSS with mixed results. In a series of 13 cases with follow-up periods up to 99 months and a cumulative follow-up of 30.9 years, we demonstrate excellent bleeding prophylaxis and a low adverse event rate of TIPS and-if TIPS proves infeasible-splenorenal shunt surgery. Main complications of TIPS comprise transient hepatic encephalopathy and increase of liver enzymes, especially in patients with hepatic comorbidities. Due to necessary infrastructure and skills, TIPS implantation is currently limited to specialized centers. However, we think that our study can support the establishment and development of new treatment options for schistosomiasis and, in the medium term, also improve the prognosis of this neglected tropical disease in endemic regions. BackgroundTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and shunt surgery are established treatment options for portal hypertension, but have not been systematically evaluated in patients with portal hypertension due to hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HSS), one of the neglected tropical diseases with major impact on morbidity and mortality in endemic areas. MethodsIn this retrospective case study, patients with chronic portal hypertension due to schistosomiasis treated with those therapeutic approaches in four tertiary referral hospit

Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to be a major global public health issue and omnipresent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) increase the risk of HIV acquisition. Moreover, STIs and HIV in pregnant women can harm the unborn child. In this study, we systematically investigated the prevalence of HIV, relevant STIs and vaginal group B streptococcus colonization among pregnant women presenting at Asella Teaching Hospital in central Ethiopia and their effect on perinatal mortality. A follow-up was performed six weeks after delivery. A total of 580 women were included, of which 26.6% tested positive for at least one pathogen ( Chlamydia trachomatis 9.8%, trichomoniasis 5.3%, hepatitis B 5.3%, gonorrhoea 4.3%, group B streptococcus 2.4%, syphilis 2.2%, HIV 2.1%). None of the HIV infections were previously undiagnosed, indicating effective HIV screening activities in the region. Follow-up data were available for 473 (81.6%) children, of which 37 (7.8%) were stillborn or died within the first six weeks of life. Infection with Trichomonas vaginalis and recruitment at obstetric ward (versus antenatal care) were associated with mortality. High prevalence of STIs in pregnant women and their impact on the unborn child demonstrate the need for screening and treatment programmes in order to prevent perinatal mortality.
