“…Histologic examination of lung tissue from individuals with schistosomiasis-associated PAH reveals a dark pigment that is often located adjacent to sites of vascular remodeling, the nature of which is unclear, and which has historically been variously speculated to be derived from red blood cells, [6] "bile pigment," [7] a component of scar tissue [7,8] or remnants of the parasite. [6,[8][9][10] To clarify the nature of this pigment and potentially identify antigens that could be the target of a localized host inflammatory response, we sought to detect parasite egg antigens in the lung tissue from individuals who had died of schistosomiasis-associated PAH.…”

O exame anatomopatológico de três doentes com esquistossomose evidenciou a presença de ovos de Schistosoma mansoni (S. mansoni) no lúmen dos capilares, com um processo inflamatório ao seu redor e espessamento da camada íntima das artérias pulmonares.…”
