Flashcard 10: Schistosoma mansoni and japonicum can cause _____ hypertension

Answer: portal

Extra: Schistosoma mansoni (large lateral spine) and S. japonicum (small spine) reside in the mesenteric veins. Their eggs travel to the liver, causing a granulomatous reaction that results in "pipestem" fibrosis of the portal triads and subsequent non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. Liver function and hepatocytes are typically preserved, so jaundice is not a classic feature.
