[Uro-genital schistosomiasis with S. haematobium and infertility in Niger. Prospective study of 109 cases].
Schistosomiasis represents the second most endemic diseases following malaria. It is now endemic in 76 countries of the world, and it is estimated that more than 200 million persons are infected. The objective of this work is to help in the improvement of knowledge about Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FSG) effects on the women reproductive. A transversal prospective survey during six months, on women consulting for infertility in the health reproductive center of Niamey. The women included (109 persons) have been asked and consulted in gynecology, cervical smears urine pathology, urine ragent strips test, vesico-renal and gynecologic trans-abdominal ultrasound, hysterosalpingography (HSG) and cervical biopsy on infected patients. The infestation prevalence at S.haematobium was 38,5%. The infected persons have presented more gyneco-obstétrical symptomatology than the non infested ones. The proportion of exocervicite was 31,0% by clinical examination. The cervical biopsy done on 26 bilharziosis patients confirmed the frequence of highs chronic exocervicites (50%) and leucoplasia (11,5%). Echography and HSG noticed that the bilharzios patients can let develop other annexiel pathologies such as: ovary cyst, peri-tuboovary adhesions and wide ovaries. The symptomatology felt by infested women showed the parasitose consequence on women in endemic area. The treatment in o large schaddle by the national program allows to reduce morbidity caused by that infection in Niger.
