Schistosoma are trematode blood flukes of the family Schistosomidae affecting the urinary and gastro-intestinal tracts. Riverine areas of the world such as in Africa, Eastern Mediterranean, Central American and East Asia are endemic for the disease, with S. haematobium accounting for most of the symptomatic genital infection. A case of a 25-year-old woman with 8 weeks amenorrhoea, lower abdominal pain and per vaginal bleeding was managed for ruptured ectopic pregnancy and discovered to have tubal infection by Schistosoma on histological examination is presented.

Ectopic pregnancies are uncommon among women presenting for abortion. However, where suspected, rapid referral for definitive diagnosis is essential to prevent harm. We assessed whether implementation of a standardised decision-making tool, an algorithmic representation of the clinical decisions and associated actions defined in policy, in a British abortion service was associated with a reduction in missed opportunities to escalate care where indicated.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers compared the pregnancy outcomes of patients treated expectantly with those who had only eutopic pregnancies and those who underwent surgery, matching them based on age, previous pregnancies, and gestational age.
- * The results showed similar rates of live births and early miscarriages among the expectant management group, the eutopic group, and the surgical group, indicating that expectant management may be a viable option for patients with heterotopic pregnancies.

Ectopic pregnancy is a severe complication of early pregnancy that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Methotrexate is a standard non-surgical treatment for ectopic pregnancy, especially in cases where beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) levels are low. However, its effectiveness decreases as β-HCG levels rise.
