Clinical practice guidelines for the care of patients with severe traumatic brain injury: A systematic evaluation of their quality

摘要

Despite this experience with locally prevalent S. japonicum, Chinese clinicians are less familiar with schistosomiasis acquired from distant destinations. Schistosoma haematobium infections have rarely been reported in Asia, with most sporadic cases occurring among returning Japanese travelers.In this issue, Wang and colleagues report two imported cases of 5. haematobium which occurred among Chinese expatriate workers who lived in Tanzania and Angola. This report is of great interest because it indicates new populations potentially at risk because of changing patterns of travel from the emerging economies of Asia. Both men were long-term expatriates who had worked in Africa, but presented after returning home to Henan, China. Both cases had initial missed diagnoses; the first case received 4 months of tuberculosis treatment with isoniazid and pyrazinamide, and the second patient underwent surgical resection for a presumed bladder tumor, before the appropriate diagnosis and treatment were finally arrived at.
