Summary
The importance of schistosomiasis-associated pulmonary hypertension is now recognized with better knowledge about its pathophysiology and management. Nevertheless, there is a need for better understanding the predisposal factors (genetic, environmental and so on) for the development of pulmonary hypertension in schistosomiasis as a way to prevent it from occurring. Furthermore, better control programs to decrease disease transmission are still missing, ensuring that we will have to face this devastating complication of schistosomiasis for a long future.
