Conservative management of surgical acute renal failure due to schistosomiasis. A case report.
A patient with schistosomiasis-induced acute renal failure is presented. She responded dramatically to peritoneal dialysis and niridazole (Ambilhar; Ciba). In a centre with more sophisticated facilities, early surgical intervention would have been considered. A search of the English-language literature has not revealed a patient with similar presentation and management.
