PATHOGENESIS

  • Percutaneous infection causes the formation of nodules in the skin, with oedema and enlargement of the superficial lymph glands.
  • Abscess formation, extensive liver cirrhosis and multiple adhesions may occur.
  • Aberrant migration of larvae may lead to lesions in the spinal cord.
  • Cysts may occur in the kidney tissue.
  • Ureters thickened and in chronic cases ureter may be occluded.
