The epidemiology of periportal fibrosis and relevance of current<i>Schistosoma mansoni</i>infection: a population-based, cross-sectional study

2023-09-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Intestinal schistosome infections are known to cause periportal fibrosis (PPF). Yet, the epidemiology of PPF remains poorly understood, especially in settings endemic with Schistosoma mansoni . <h4>Methods</h4> We randomly sampled 1442 households from 38 villages in Mayuge, Buliisa, and Pakwach Districts of Uganda within the SchistoTrack Cohort to examine 2834 individuals aged...
