ABSTRACT
We report the case of two brothers who returned from Madagascar presenting all the acute phase symptoms of a primary invasive Schistosoma mansoni infection, together with brain involvement characterized by acute encephalitis. This rarely described issue should be considered in travelers returning from endemic areas with acute neurological symptoms.
