| Popis: | We report on two patients with urinary schistosomiasis, who both presented within a fortnight to our hospital with similar symptoms of persistent painless haematuria. Ultrasound, cystoscopic biopsies and histology were used to confirm diagnosis. Treatment with praziquantel was given. Symptoms of urinary schistosomiasis can easily be missed in non-endemic areas and possibly confused with a more sinister pathology. A thorough history and awareness of disease can avoid interventional investigations. |
