Hi Pat - Thank you for your comment. To answer your question: most people are cured after receiving treatment with praziquantel. Unfortunately, in areas of the world where schistosomiasis is widespread infected people are vulnerable because of dehydration and malnutrition. Worldwide, an estimated 14,000 people die each year.
