[Schistosomiasis (bilharziosis). Importance of cytology. Report of 2 cases].
We report two cases of bilharziasis of the bladder in immigrants who presented with spontaneous hematuria. This condition was diagnosed by urine cytology. The current tide of immigration and tourism have led to an increased number of diseases acquired abroad. A simple, economic and rapid method for diagnosing schistosomiasis in patients at risk with hematuria is described.
