Prevention of the disease involves several targets.Infected patients require diagnosis, treatment, and education.Adequate healthcare facilities need to be available, water systems must be treated.and sanitation must be improved.
Though it is not usually lethal, schistosomiasis can persist for years without treatment. Symptoms of chronic schistosomiasis are: abdominal pain, enlarged liver, blood in the stool or blood in the urine, and problems passing urine. Chronic infection can also lead to increased risk of bladder cancer.
The treatment for bilharzia, also known as schistosomiasis, typically involves medications such as praziquantel. This medication works by killing the parasite responsible for the infection. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment regimen to fully eliminate the parasite from the body.
Flatworms can cause various diseases in humans, including schistosomiasis, cysticercosis, and fascioliasis. These diseases can result from the parasitic activity of different types of flatworms and can affect various organs and systems in the body, leading to a range of symptoms and health complications.
The advantages of the Kato-Katz technique include its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to provide quantitative data on the intensity of helminth infections, making it useful for monitoring and evaluating control programs for diseases like schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths.
Sistomiasis disease is a misspelling. Perhaps you meant schistosomiasis, which is a parasitic disease caused by blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma. It is transmitted through contact with contaminated freshwater where the parasite-infected snails live. Symptoms can vary but commonly include fever, abdominal pain, and blood in the urine. Treatment usually involves medication to kill the parasite.

The use of medications against schistosomiasis, such as praziquantel (Biltricide), oxamniquine, and metrifonate, have been shown to be safe and effective.
