Study Notes
Biliary Tract Disease and Cholangiocarcinoma
- Clonorchis sinensis is associated with biliary tract disease and cholangiocarcinoma.
Brain Cysts
- Taenia solium can cause neurocysticercosis, which manifests as brain cysts.
- Neurocysticercosis can lead to seizures.
Hematuria and Squamous Cell Bladder Cancer
- Schistosoma haematobium is associated with hematuria and squamous cell bladder cancer.
Liver Cysts
- Echinococcus granulosus is associated with liver cysts, also known as hydatid cysts.
- Exposure to infected dogs is a risk factor for infection with Echinococcus granulosus.
Iron Deficiency Anemia
- Ancylostoma and Necator, hookworms, can cause iron deficiency anemia.
Myalgias and Periorbital Edema
- Trichinella spiralis is associated with myalgias and periorbital edema.
Nocturnal Perianal Pruritus
- Enterobius is associated with nocturnal perianal pruritus, a common symptom of pinworm infection.
Portal Hypertension
- Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum are associated with portal hypertension.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency
- Diphyllobothrium latum, a tapeworm, is associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.
### Parasite Associations
- Clonorchis sinensis can cause biliary tract disease and cholangiocarcinoma.
- Taenia solium can cause neurocysticercosis, leading to brain cysts and possibly seizures.
- Schistosoma haematobium is associated with hematuria and squamous cell bladder cancer.
- Echinococcus granulosus causes liver hydatid cysts, particularly through exposure to infected dogs.
- Ancylostoma and Necator can lead to iron deficiency anemia.
- Trichinella spiralis is associated with myalgias.

Parasitic Organism Association with Health Conditions
- Clonorchis sinensis infection can lead to biliary tract disease and cholangiocarcinoma.
- Taenia solium infection can cause neurocysticercosis, resulting in brain cysts and potentially seizures.
- Schistosoma haematobium infection is associated with hematuria (blood in the urine) and squamous cell bladder cancer.
- Echinococcus granulosus infection can cause liver hydatid cysts. Exposure to infected dogs is a risk factor for this infection.
- Ancylostoma and Necator hookworm infections can lead to iron deficiency anemia.
