Bilharzia/Schistosomiasis

What is it?

Bilharzia, also known as schistosomiasis, is a parasitic disease caused by flatworms called schistosomes that live in freshwater snails.

What are the symptoms?

Acute infection: An itchy rash can appear within days of exposure. Other symptoms like fever, cough, and muscle aches may develop within a few weeks to months.

Chronic infection: The eggs released by worms inside the body trigger an immune response, leading to chronic symptoms and organ damage over time.

These can include:
Intestinal: Abdominal pain, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and blood in stool.

Urinary: Blood in urine, painful urination, and urinary leakage.

Other: Shortness of breath, lower back pain, and in women, pelvic pain, postcoital bleeding, and irregular menstruation.

What causes it and how is it spread?

Parasitic worms: The disease is caused by parasitic worms of the genus Schistosoma.

Freshwater snails: The worms spend part of their life cycle in freshwater snails, which release the infectious larval form into the water.

Contact with contaminated water: Humans become infected when these larval worms pe*****te their skin during activities like swimming, wading, or washing in infested freshwater.

Geographic prevalence: The disease is most common in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in Africa

Treatment and Prevention?

Treatment: The main treatment is a low-cost drug called praziquantel, which is effective against all forms of the disease.

Prevention: Avoiding contact with contaminated freshwater is the best way to prevent infection.

Impetigo

What is it?
A highly contagious bacterial skin infection, most common in infants and young children, that causes red sores, which can develop into blisters, then burst and ooze before forming a thick, honey-colored crust.

What causes it?

Bacteria: Primarily caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus bacteria, which can also live harmlessly on the skin.

Entry through broken skin: The bacteria enter the body through breaks in the skin, such as cuts, scrapes, insect bites, or irritation from conditions like eczema or poison ivy.

Warm, humid environments: Impetigo is more common in hot, humid climates.

What are the symptoms?
Red sores: Initially appear as red, itchy spots that can be found on the face, especially around the nose and mouth, and on the hands and feet, but can occur anywhere on the body.

Blisters: The sores may develop into blisters that break open and leak a clear fluid or pus.
Crusts: A yellow or "honey-colored" crust forms over the sores as they heal.

Larger blisters: A less common type, bullous impetigo, causes larger blisters called bullae.
Other symptoms: Some people with widespread sores may also experience fever and swollen lymph nodes.

How is it treated?

Antibiotics: Treatment with antibiotics is necessary to clear the infection and prevent it from spreading.
Hygiene: Good personal hygiene, such as washing hands and faces, helps prevent the spread.
Staying home: A child with impetigo should stay home from school or daycare until they have been on antibiotics for 24 hours and sores on exposed areas are covered with a waterproof dressing.
Preventing auto-inoculation: Avoid scratching sores to prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body.
