Abstract:
In a patient presenting with hematuria and proteinuria (albuminuria), bladder biopsy demonstrated Schistosoma hematobium infection and renal biopsy showed a minimal change glomerulonephritis. The hematuria and proteinuria resolved following praziquantel therapy. The pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis in association with Schistosoma infection is discussed.
