Résumé
La présente revue est consacrée aux lésions morphologiques gastro-intestinales consécutives aux infections par les helminthes et les protozoaires. Les infections helminthiques localisées à l'intestin comportent le trématodeSchistosoma et les nématodesAnisakis, Ancylostoma, Ascaris, Strongyloides etOesophagostoma. Les lésions protozoaires considérées sont l'amibiase et la leishmaniose viscérale. La majorité des patients porteurs de ces lésions sont infectés en pays tropical ou subtropical où la plupart de ces parasitoses sont endémiques. Le développement universel des voyages et les flux d'immigrants dans notre société ont rendu actuellement ces infections beaucoup plus tones sont devenus rares en Europe occidentale. Certaines infections parasitaires occidentales sont plus fréquemment observées chez les sujets immunodéprimés et ce thème est traité dans un autre article de ce numéro spécial.
Summary
In the present paper an outline of the morphology of gastrointestinal lesions caused by helminthic and protozoican infections will be presented. The helminthic infections affecting the bowel include the trematodeSchistosoma and the nematodesAnisakis, Ancylostoma, Ascaris, Strongyloides andOesophagostoma. The protozoal diseases discussed are amoebiasis and visceral leishmaniasis. The majority of the patients presenting with these lesions were infected in tropical and subtropical areas where most of these parasites are endemic. With the increase of world-wide travelling and the influx of immigrants in our society, these infections are more commonly seen today. Infection with some of the parasites discussed here (e.g.Strongyloides) is not exclusively related to the tropics but autochthonous cases have become very rare in Western Europe. Some parasitic infections are in Western Europe more often seen in immunocompromised patients and are dealt with in another article of this volume.
