OBJECTIVES: Little is known about the burden of urogenital schistosomiasis (UGS) outside endemic areas. This study was aimed at describing urinary complications of UGS detected among African migrants in French primary care facilities.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study included patients with UGS diagnosed from 2004 to 2018 in 5 primary health centers in Paris. Cases were defined by the presence of typical Schistosoma haematobium eggs at urine microscopy. Demographic, clinical, biological and imaging data were collected. Ultrasonography (U-S) findings were classified in accordance with the WHO guidelines.
RESULTS: U-S was prescribed for all patients and performed in 100/118. Sex ratio (F/M) was 2/98, and mean age 24.4 years. Patients were from West Africa (73% from Mali) and consulted 8 months (median) after their arrival. Among the 95 patients with interpretable findings, 32 (33.7%) had abnormalities related to UGS, considered as major in 6 cases (6.3%), and mostly localized at the bladder (31/32) without detection of cancer. No sociodemographic, clinical, or biological factors were found to be associated with U-S abnormalities. All 100 patients were treated by praziquantel (PZQ). Among those with abnormalities, 20/32 received two to four doses at various time intervals. Post-cure imaging control performed in 19/32 showed persistent abnormalities in 6 patients, on average 5 months after the last PZQ uptake.
CONCLUSION: Urinary tract abnormalities associated with UGS were common and predominated at the bladder. U-S should be prescribed to any patient with positive urine microscopy. Schedules for PZQ uptake and U-S monitoring for patients with complications remain to be determined.
