[Urinary schistosomiasis: description of a case. Clinico-therapeutic considerations and preventive measures].
In Italy, imported cases of urinary schistosomiasis may be frequently undiagnosed, because the symptoms are mild and the number of schistosome eggs in urine is low. The Authors report one case of S. haematobium infection in whom the diagnosis was suspected on the basis of the anamnestic and clinical data and confirmed by the presence of typical eggs in urine and histologically in biopsies taken at cystoscopy. Moreover preventive measures are suggested for the individuals who go to those Countries where schistosomiasis is endemic.
