Schistosoma mansoni, patients with Katayama or early hypersensitivity stages of infection, use of steroids in addition to schistosomicides resulted in dramatic improvement of infection (including paralysis in one man), possibility that removal or reduction of hypersensitivity reaction gives the antischistosomal drugs easier access to parasitic ova
