| bilharzia | Disease caused by worms that parasitise people. Also called schistosomiasis. Three main species of these trematode worms (flukes)--Schistosoma haematobium, S. Japonicum, and S. Mansoni cause disease in humans. Larval forms of the parasite live in freshwater snails. The cercaria (form of the parasite) is liberated from the snail burrow into skin, transforms to the schistosomulum stage, and migrates to the urinary tract (S. Haematobium), liver or intestine (S. Japonicum, S.mansoni) where the adult worms develop. Eggs are shed into the urinary tract or the intestine and hatch to form miracidia (yet another form of the parasite) which then infect snails, completing the life cycle of the parasite. Adult schistosome worms can seriously damage tissue. The name bilharzia comes from that of the shortlived German physician Theodor Bilharz (1825-1862). (12 Dec 1998) |

| bilharzial appendicitis | Appendicitis caused by the deposition of the eggs of the blood fluke, Schistosoma mansoni, in the vermiform appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilharzial dysentery | Dysentery due to infection with Schistosoma mansoni, S. Haematobium, or S. Japonicum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilharzial granuloma | A granulomatous lesion formed around schistosome eggs embedded in tissues in cases of schistosomiasis (bilharziasis); typically these granulomata are found in intestinal tissues (Schistosoma japonicum or S. Mansoni infection), bladder tissue (S. Haematobium), and hepatic tissue (all human schistosomes). Synonym: bilharzial granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilharziasis | A parasite infection by a trematode worm acquired from infested water. Also known as schistosomiasis. Species which live in man can produce liver, bladder, and gastrointestinal problems. Species of the schistosomiasis parasite which cannot live in man cause swimmer's itch. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bilharzioma | A tumour-like swelling of the skin, due to schistosomiasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilharziosis | Disease (bilharzia) caused by digenetic trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, the adults of which live in the urinary or mesenteric blood vessels. Eggs shed by the female worms pass to the outside in the urine or faeces, but many also lodge in and obstruct the blood flow in the liver. Eosinophils seem to be particularly important in the killing of the invasive larval stage (schistosomulum). Evasion of the host's immune response by adult schistosomes seems to involve the acquisition of a coat of host cell surface material by the parasite. (18 Nov 1997) |

| Bilharzia |
A life-threatening parasitic disease caused by a worm that lives in a host snail. Humans can become infected when they come in contact with water in ponds and rivers where the snail lives. Occurs most often in tropical regions. Also called schistosomiasis.
