[A case of intestinal schistosomiasis with hepatic involvement: interdisciplinary diagnostic approach and peculiarity of the echographic and histologic findings].

We report a case of intestinal schistosomiasis; secondary hepatic involvement is particularly described, with a very distinctive ecographic feature of portal hypertension and a bioptic picture stressing a granulomatous periportal inflammation. In the work we emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach (physicians working in the fields of internal medicine, infectious disease, gastrointestinal diseases, radiologist, pathologist) in the course of diagnostic investigation. Finally, we confirm the effectiveness of praziquantel against Schistosoma mansoni.

[Incidence of oxyuriasis in a schoolchild population in Milan, with socio-economic correlations. Verification of the therapeutic effectiveness of pyrantel pamoate].

440 children aged between 3 and 5 were examined for Oxyuriasis in three schools of Milan during three different days. 31% of the children resulted parasited by Enterobius vermicularis: a clear correlation between parasitosis and socio-economic condition has been demonstrated. Treatment with "pirantel pamoate" has been proved effective in 88% of the cases.
