“…The presence of eggs in the very early phase of schistosomiasis is reported in some papers: as early as 3 weeks after exposure in the lungs [9], 4 weeks in stool [11,45], 5 weeks in a biopsy of the skin [51]. These findings confirm that the oviposition sometimes starts very early, before what was previously thought (6-7 weeks).…”

“…Our view is that the asymptomatic focal lesions reported in the first phase of primary schistosomal infection (incidentally observed during AS, but likely not responsible for Katayama symptoms) are due to local deposition of clusters of eggs laid by adult female worms in situ, and, therefore, that all nodules/focal lesions, at any time postinfection and at any site, develop as the consequence of this mechanism. The presence of eggs in such nodules was actually demonstrated by different authors [44], starting as early as 3 weeks after infection [9,45,51]. The presence of an adult worm in situ is more difficult to demonstrate.…”

“…5a). It is known that real-time SmMIT-LAMP works well with clinical samples, since we recently used it on patient’s skin biopsies to confirm the diagnosis of ectopic cutaneous schistosomiasis 48 . Both fresh and desiccated SmMIT-LAMP mixtures yielded amplification signals for S .…”

“…Consequently, the combination of the high efficiency of LAMP with urine samples could be suitable to use not only for well-equipped laboratories, but also for poor-resource laboratories in S. mansoni -endemic areas. Additionally, SmMIT-LAMP was also successfully used on a skin biopsy as a real-time LAMP assay to confirm ectopic cutaneous schistosomiasis caused by S. mansoni , a proof of concept of the usefulness of LAMP in acute schistosomiasis diagnosis [ 54 ].…”
