A systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between urogenital schistosomiasis and HIV/AIDS infection

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases Jun 19, 2020

Zirimenya L, Mahmud-Ajeigbe F, McQuillan R, et al. - In view of the observed co-occurrence of urogenital schistosomiasis and HIV/AIDS infections, researchers sought to determine if and how urogenital schistosomiasis is associated with HIV/AIDS infection. They performed a systematic review based on PRISMA guidelines. Searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, Global Health and Global Index Medicus, they identified only eight observational studies for inclusion in the systematic review. The meta-analysis was performed on six of these studies. Outcomes suggested a likely correlation between urogenital schistosomiasis and HIV/AIDS infections in females. However, there were limited papers in males leading to drawing of no conclusion.
