RESUMO
Há pouca informação sobre achados à tomografia de tórax em pacientes com esquistossomose mansoni. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar as alterações vasculares e parenquimatosas nesta doença. Foram estudados prospectivamente 48 pacientes brasileiros portadores de esquistossomose hepatosplênica com tomografia de tórax, e 43 destes pacientes com ecocardiograma. Quinze pacientes tiveram achados ecocardiográficos compatíveis com hipertensão pulmonar. Os achados vasculares à tomografia incluíram o desvio do septo interventricular, e a presença de colaterais, como as veias pericárdio-frênicas, as varizes de esôfago e o aumento do calibre do sistema ázigos-hemiázigos / Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharziasis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases of the humans. This challenging condition affects millions of people, mostly in the tropics. In Manson's schistosomiasis, the intestinal form is the most frequent, but other clinical forms are important, as the hepatosplenic involvement and pulmonary hypertension. The literature on all aspects of the disease is vast, but there is scarce information about chest CT findings in patients with schistosomiasis. The aim of this study was to search for vascular and parenchimal changes in patients with schistosomiasis mansoni...
