Cervical schistosomiasis, a rare genital tract infection, was diagnosed in a woman via histology after an abnormal cervical smear. Increased awareness is crucial due to rising international travel to endemic regions.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions.
  • Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) affects the cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
  • FGS often presents with nonspecific symptoms, leading to diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case of cervical schistosomiasis diagnosed via histology following an abnormal cervical smear is presented.
  • The patient's symptoms and diagnostic workup are detailed.
  • Histological examination confirmed the presence of Schistosoma eggs in cervical tissue.

Findings:

  • Cervical schistosomiasis can mimic other gynecological conditions.
  • Histopathology is essential for definitive diagnosis of FGS.

  • The case highlights the importance of considering FGS in women with relevant travel history.

    • Implications:

    • Increased global travel necessitates greater awareness of FGS among healthcare providers.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment of FGS are crucial to prevent long-term complications.
    • Public health education regarding schistosomiasis risks associated with freshwater exposure in endemic areas is vital.
