title: [Schistosomiasis cases at the Teaching Hospital Královské Vinohrady in Prague].
abstract: In our paper we present the diagnosis of schistosomiasis at the Teaching Hospital Královské Vinohrady in Prague. This helminthiasis is imported to the Czech Republic by tourists and foreigners from subtropical and tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Central and South America. An unrecognized and thus untreated infection may have serious, even fatal consequences for the patient. In the period 2003 to 2005 in our parasitological investigations we have seen two cases infested with two fluke species imported from Africa. We submit the case histories of these patients.
