Schistosomiasis
Schistosomiasis, also called bilharzia, is an infection caused by tiny parasitic worms found in untreated fresh water in tropical regions. Exposure comes from skin contact with contaminated water rather than anything eaten or drunk.
Key points
- The worms enter through the skin during water contact, and symptoms such as fever, rash and muscle aches can follow.
- Praziquantel causes the parasites to contract and become paralysed so the body can remove them.
