A case of schistosomal cystitis / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Schistosomiasis cystitis is a urogenital system disease caused by Schistosoma aegypt. Common clinical manifestations are frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and terminal hematuria, but new infections can be asymptomatic. Detection of parasite eggs by urine microscopy is considered to be the gold standard for diagnosis, but the result may be a false negative in the inactive period. The main epidemic of this disease is located in Africa and the Middle East area. However, in china, there are few reports of confirmed cases. This article reports a case of imported schistosomiasis cystitis. The patient is a Sudanese, male, who has been studying in China for more than 2 years, mainly with persistent painless hematuria for more than 6 months. Cystoscopy was proposed to diagnose a bladder mass, and schistosomiasis cystitis was confirmed by pathological diagnosis after surgery.
