Abstract

Proteinuria was detected in 24.7% of 89 individuals with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis and in only 4.6% of 86 subjects with mild hepato-intestinal schistosomiasis, all of them living in comparable conditions in two endemic areas in Bahia, Brazil. From nine individuals who hadproteinuria over30 mg/100ml, eight had hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. These findings maybe related to the presence of schistosomal nephropathy and reveal the significance of this condition in thefield in endemic areas of schistosomiasis.Proteinúria foi detectada em 24,7% de 89 pacientes com a forma hepatoesplênica da esquistos- somose e em apenas 4,6% de 86 pacientes com a forma hepatointestinal dessa parasitose. Todos os pacientes viviam em condições epidemiológicas semelhantes em duas áreas endêmicas da Bahia, Brasil. Dos nove indivíduos que tinham proteinúria acima de 30mg/100ml, oito tinham a forma hepatoesplênica da doença. Estes achados podem estar relacionados à presença de uma glomerulopatia esquistossomótica e mostra o significado desta condição no campo, em áreas endêmicas de esquistos- somose.
