What is Pathology for Schistosoma haematobium?
Most pathology is due to the body’s immune response. Eggs have a sharp terminal spine and tend to lodge in the walls of the bladder. . The immune system walls them off in granulomas which causes calcification of the bladder, seminal vesicles, urethra, and ureters. Causes Schistosomiasis same as others except that chronic doesn’t cause ascites or enlargement of spleen/liver. may cause bladder cancer
