RESUMO
A esquistossomose mansoni, endemia encontrada em diferentes áreas do território brasileiro, constitui um grave problema de saúde pública no Brasil e no mundo. Formas ectópicas da doença podem acometer o sistema reprodutor feminino, constituindo um tipo raro de infecção pelo S. mansoni. Paciente com 26 anos queixava-se de corrimento vaginal, dispareunia e dor à palpação do hipogástrio. No exame ginecológico foi observado pólipo endocervical, que foi biopsiado. O exame histológico evidenciou vários granulomas envolvendo ovos degenerados e viáveis de Schistosoma mansoni. Tratada com praziquantel, retornou assintomática após quatro semanas do tratamento. Corrimento vaginal e dispareunia podem ser causas secundárias de cervicite por Schistosoma mansoni. Pesquisa de ovos em esfregaço vaginal de rotina ou exame histológico devem fazer parte da avaliação ginecológica de pacientes de área endêmica, com o objetivo de rastrear forma ectópica da esquistossomose do trato genital feminino.
ABSTRACT
Schistosomiasis mansoni is found in different endemic areas of Brazil. It is a serious public health problem in Brazil and worldwide. Ectopic forms of the disease may affect the female reproductive system, representing a rare type of Schistosoma mansoni infection. A 26-year-old patient complained of vaginal discharge, dyspareunia and pain on palpation of the hypogastrium. Gynecological examination revealed an endocervical polyp. A biopsy was performed. Under microscopy, several granulomas surrounding degenerate and viable eggs of Schistosoma mansoni were seen. Treated with praziquantel, she was asymptomatic after four weeks of treatment. Vaginal discharge and dyspareunia may be secondary causes of cervicitis caused by Schistosoma mansoni. The search for eggs in routine vaginal smear or histological examination should be part of the gynecologic evaluation of patients from endemic areas, with the purpose of tracking ectopic schistosomiasis of the female genital tract.
