title: Evidence-based treatment of schistosomiasis in pregnancy.
abstract: Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection that causes significant morbidity and mortality, especially in pregnant women originating from developing countries. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can improve pregnancy and infant outcomes. Currently, there are no formal guidelines for treatment in this population, which makes schistosomiasis in pregnancy a challenge to treat.
