[Vulvar complications of urogenital schistosomiasis: study of 8 cases in Ségou, Mali].
We present a retrospective study of eight cases of vulvar bilharziasis who attended our institution for dermatological visit from 1998 to 2001. The mean age was 11 years old (range: 7 to 13). The clinical examination found wart like or ulcerated nodules, papules and/or diffuse infiltration. All the lesions were located on the left side of the vulvae (labium) and/or the groin. S. haematobium was the only causative agent identified in all specimens. The exclusive left side location of the lesions reported here has never been mentioned in the previous studies. The physiopathology of this finding is possibly linked to factors similar to those explaining the Cockett syndrome. Further examinations, including ultrasonography of the pelvis in larger series, are needed to learn more about the mechanism of this clinical entity.
