Abstract:
Objective:There are few domestic reports of liver transplantation from schistosomiasis donors. Two schistosomiasis donor livers were employed for liver transplantation. The relevant experiences were summarized along with a literature review.Methods:Two unexpectedly discovered donor livers infected by schistosomiasis were successfully transplanted. And long-term follow-ups were conducted for recipients.Results:The recipients were followed up for 77 and 14 months respectively without recurrence.Conclusions:Non-cirrhotic donor livers infected with schistosome may safely employed for transplantation. A positive donor should be treated with praziquantel. However, a recipient has no indication for preventive deworming.
