pubmed:abstractText |
Chronic exposure to malaria exacerbates Schistosoma mansoni-associated hepatosplenomegaly in school-aged children. However, residual hepatosplenomegaly after treatment of S. mansoni with concurrent mollusciciding suggests malaria could be an underlying cause of hepatosplenomegaly. We investigated the role of chronic malaria in childhood hepatosplenomegaly in the presence and absence of concurrent S. mansoni infection.
