title: Portal hypertension due to hepatosplenic schistosomiasis: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Although hepatosplenic schistosomiasis is the commonest cause of liver disease worldwide, the diagnosis is not often considered in European countries. A case of Schistosomiasis mansoni complicated by portal hypertension is reported to demonstrate how diseases endemic to an immigrant's homeland can present many years later in non-endemic countries.
