“…Aneurysm occurred also in patients with known chronic schistosomiasis [ 12 ], in an advanced stage with clinically manifest complications, such as oesophageal varices [ 14 ], hepato-splenic schistosomiasis [ 16 , 24 , 25 ], in one case waiting for liver transplant [ 16 ] and in pulmonary schistosomiasis [ 12 ].…”

“…Immune impairment could favour the occurrence of vascular damage in affected patients, as described for other disease of infectious interest [ 30 ]. This can be especially true in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions or a history of previous vascular surgery as in case 11, reported by Romero de Oliveira, of an aortic rupture occurring on an aortic graft infection due to Porphyromonas pogonae [ 24 ].…”

“…Finally, general conditions can be impaired by the high prevalence of pulmonary or portal hypertension but will also be secondary to effects of immune-modulation [ 24 ], favouring overlap of infections, as in the case of hepatic aneurysm in a patient with schistosomiasis and Fasciola hepatica infection [ 16 ] and occurrence of sepsis complications, as in the aortic graft infection in a patient with chronic schistosomiasis and history of aortic repair for type A aortic dissection [ 24 ]. Additionally, clinical features can be exacerbated by malnutrition, which can be significantly prevalent in endemic areas [ 21 ] (Tables 3 and 4 ).…”

“…In these cases, the diagnosis of Schistosoma infection was reached by serological investigations [22], stool sample assessment, rectal biopsy [19], and histology of lung [17] or of liver and testis [23]. Aneurysm occurred also in patients with known chronic schistosomiasis [12], in an advanced stage with clinically manifest complications, such as oesophageal varices [14], hepato-splenic schistosomiasis [16,24,25], in one case waiting for liver transplant [16] and in pulmonary schistosomiasis [12].…”

Introduction. Schistosomiasis, caused by trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, has organ-specific morbidity due to host’s inflammatory response to the oviposition of parasite eggs in vessels and organs. Damage to the cardiovascular system, including aneurysms, has been described in patients. Aims and Methods. Aims of the review of case reports and series published in literature were to describe the occurrence of aneurysm in patients with schistosomiasis. Investigation Outcomes. A total of 13 cases (seven males and six females) with a mean age of 41.3 ± 14.9 years were included. Aneurysm occurred in patients with active or previous infection. In more than half of the cases, an intestinal or hepato-splenic involvement was reported, followed by pulmonary schistosomiasis and urinary or testicular involvement. The most frequently involved arterial district was the pulmonary artery. Immunomodulation and thrombophilia were featuring challenging surgery. Conclusions. More studies are needed to shed light on the vascular complications of schistosomiasis, to ascertain the true burden of aneurysms in patients with schistosomiasis, to establish the pathophysiology of vessel damage and aneurysm formation, and to assess if there is an association between schistosomiasis and aneurysm formation in line with WHO 2021–2030 NTD Roadmap.

Studies on the anaerobic bacteria Porphyromonas, mainly focused on P. gingivalis, have revealed new bacterial structures, metabolic pathways, and physiologic functionalities. Porphyromonas are mainly described as being associated with mammals and involved in chronic oral infections and secondary pathologies such as cancers or neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we collected and analyzed information regarding Porphyromonas isolation sites and associated conditions and showed that Porphyromonas are detected in numerous pristine and anthropic environments and that their host range appears wider than previously believed, including aquatic animals, arthropods, and birds, even if their predominant hosts remain humans, pets, and farm animals. Our analyses also revealed their presence in multiple organs and in a substantial proportion of healthy contexts. Overall, the growing numbers of microbiota studies have allowed unprecedented advances in the understanding of Porphyromonas ecology but raise questions regarding their phylogenic assignment. In conclusion, this systematic and meta-analysis provides an overview of current knowledge regarding Porphyromonas ecological distribution and encourages additional research to fill the knowledge gaps to better understand their environmental distribution and inter-and intraspecies transmission.
