lüll Helminthic diseases in the abdomen: an epidemiologic and radiologic overview Ortega CD; Ogawa NY; Rocha MS; Blasbalg R; Caiado AH; Warmbrand G; Cerri GGRadiographics 2010[Jan]; 30 (1): 253-67Helminthic diseases have a worldwide distribution. They affect billions of people in endemic areas and can result in serious clinical complications. Some parasites have a human gastrointestinal life cycle with resultant abdominal manifestations. However, the symptoms of helminthic diseases are usually nonspecific. Radiologic imaging, along with the identification of risk factors, may help narrow the differential diagnosis. To avoid diagnostic delays, radiologists should be familiar with the geographic distribution, transmission cycle, and characteristic and atypical manifestations of common helminthic diseases at abdominal imaging with radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography. Awareness of the clinical, epidemiologic, and pathogenic characteristics of these diseases also may be helpful for narrowing the diagnosis when imaging features are nonspecific.|*Abdomen[MESH]|Diagnostic Imaging/methods/*statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Disease Outbreaks/*statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Helminthiasis/*diagnosis/*epidemiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Incidence[MESH]|Internationality[MESH]|Intestinal Diseases, Parasitic/*diagnosis/*epidemiology[MESH]|Male[MESH] |
