Abstract

Urinary tract infections are among frequent health problems, but parasitic infections are taken no notice. Of urinary system diseases, parasitic diseases such as schistosomiasis (bilharziasis) and trichomoniasis effect lots of people and often give rise to renal and lower urinary tract diseases. Echinocoocosis and filariasis rarely effect urinary system. Schistosomiasis gives rise to the disease by finding its way into bladder veins in human who is final host. It leads to unintended consequences such as permanent urogenital problems, renal failure and malignancy because of its chronicity and tissue damage in the part of body it locates. Symptomatic involvement in urogenital system is more common in females compared to males. Trichomoniasis is the most frequent parasitic disease in the world which occurs because of Trichomonas vaginalis trophozoites’ involvement in urogenital system sexually. This disease underlies vaginitis which is frequent in females, but it gives rise to urethritis and prostatitis in male. Echinococcosis is known as an endemic zoonotic parasitic disease which infects to humans from animals and grows up in humans evolved in agriculture and stock rising and it may involve in kidney sporadically. Filariasis involves lymphatic system. Obstruction give rise to elephantiasis which may involve in stratum and legs. In this review was presented general information about morphological, biological characteristics of urinary system parasites, diseases they give rise to, clinical symptoms and their prevalence in Turkey. Therefore, helpful information for diagnosis and treatment in humans has been presented by reviewing information in literature about S. haematobium, E. granulosus, T. vaginalis, W. bancrofti, urogenital myiasis and scabies which are among urogenital system parasites.
