“…Several disorders of coagulation can occur in this disease due to reduced production, increased consumption and impaired hepatic clearance of both coagulant and anticoagulant proteins, with the possible occurrence of chronic consumption coagulopathy and hyperfibrinolyis among other alterations 4,5,16,25,57 .…”

“…A forma ativa caracterizou-se pelo fato dos pacientes terem exames protoparasitológicos de fezes positivos para ovos viáveis de S. mansoni. Os pacientes foram considerados como acometidos de forma "pura" por serem eutróficos (IMC ≥20 e <30 kg/m²), não-alcoolistas, isto é, abstêmios ou com ingestão alcoólica inferior a 160 g/semana (2) , não usuários de fármacos e HBsAg, anti-HBc e anti-HCV negativos (7,18) . Após a realização dos exames laboratorial e ecográfico, os pacientes foram tratados com oxamniquina (dose única de 12,5-15 mg/kg de peso).…”

“…O exame parasitológico de fezes foi realizado pelo método de Kato Katz. A carga parasitária foi considerada alta quando o número de ovos/grama de fezes foi maior que 400, moderada de 100 a 400 ovos/grama e baixa quando inferior a 100 ovos/grama (7) . Os exames ecográficos foram realizados por um único examinador no Setor Abdome do Departamento de Diagnóstico por Imagem da UNIFESP-EPM e interpretados de acordo com a padronização do ultra-som na esquistossomose (5) , sem conhecimento dos resultados laboratoriais.…”

“…Recently, the common liver injury indicators in hepatosplenic schistosomiasis are alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin levels which are higher twice than in healthy individuals, while gamma-glutamyl transferase (g-GT) is five-fold higher linked to possible biliary tree anatomical changes caused by fibrosis in the portal region [26,27] . Hence, g-GT levels are the best marker of progressive hepatic fibrosis and evaluation of liver dysfunction progression in schistosomiasis [28] .…”
