RESUMEN
Resumen La esquistomiasis urinaria es producida por Schistosoma haematobium. Es una enfermedad endémica en muchas regiones del mundo, no existente en Chile. Se presenta el caso de un hombre joven que viajó a Malawi, en África meridional, y que a su regreso al país, años después, presentó un síndrome miccional con hematuria macroscópica. La biopsia de vejiga mostró una cistitis granulomatosa y eosinofílica con huevos de Schistosoma haematobium.
ABSTRACT
Urinary schistosomiasis is produced by Schistosoma haematobium. It is an endemic disease in many regions of the world, non-existent in Chile. We report a case of a young man who traveled to Malawi, in southern Africa, and who returned to Chile. Few years later, he presented a urinary syndrome with macroscopic hematuria. The bladder biopsy showed a granulomatous and eosinophilic cystitis with eggs of Schistosoma haematobium.
