Clinicopathological differences between patients with schistosomal appendicitis and non schistosomal appendicitis: A retrospectively study of past ten years
Schistosomal appendicitis is a severe condition that is often associated with intestinal malignancies, potentially leading to a poor prognosis. Schistosomal appendicitis is more likely to be misdiagnosed and missed diagnosed in clinical work because of its nonspecific clinical manifestations and laboratory examination. It is crucial to differentiate schistosomal appendicitis in middle-aged and elderly male patients presenting with appendicitis, and to ensure early detection and treatment.
