RESUMEN
La esquistosomiasis es una de las enfermedades parasitarias más extendidas en el mundo. La infección por Schistosoma haematobium es habitual en inmigrantes procedentes de áreas endémicas. El hombre se infecta por las larvas que penetran a través de la piel al realizar actividades relacionadas con el agua contaminada. La sintomatología más frecuente que aparece es una hematuria, incluso macroscópica. No debemos olvidar la existencia de enfermedades inusuales en nuestro medio. Presentamos el caso de un varón inmigrante (Mali) con hematuria por esquistosomiasis vesical. El estudio parasitológico en orina detectó huevos de Schistosoma. Actualmente, el paciente está asintomático tras tratamiento con Praziquantel (AU)
ABSTRACT
Schistosomiasis is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases in the world. Schistosoma haematobium infection is usually found in immigrants from endemic areas. Schistosoma species is acquired by exposure to fresh water that harbours cercariae released by infected snails and penetrating the skin. Haematuria is the most common symptom. We must not forget the existence of unusual diseases in our environment. We present a case of an immigrant male (from Mali) with haematuria caused by bladder schistosomiasis. Parasitological study reported Schimosoma´s eggs. The patient is currently asymptomatic after being treated with Praziquantel (AU)
