Best Answer

In intestinal schistosomiasis, eggs become lodged in the intestinal wall and cause an immune system reaction called a granulomatous reaction. This immune response can lead to obstruction of the colon and blood loss.

What is old granulomat?

Granulomatous is an inflammation of the lungs caused by the bacteria M.tuberculosis and is incited by tubercle bacilus. The bacteria itself has a waxy coating that makes it very resistant to destruction. This is why it can stay in the lungs dormantly and then crop up again many years later. While granulomatous is not strong itself, its destructiveness comes from a hypersensitivity response. To find this information I used Essentials of Pathophysiology by Carol Mattson Porth.


Is granulomatous disease contagious?

Depends on what has caused it in the first place. Granulomatous is a term used to describe something pertaining to or resembling granulomas. A granuloma is a chronic inflammatory lesion characterised by an accumulation of white blood cells. They may resolve spontaneously, spread or allow further infection. Treatment depends on the initial cause.
