The urinary system is responsible for eliminating waste and excess fluids from the body. However, disorders of the urinary system can arise due to various reasons like infections, stress, age, congenital abnormalities, and lifestyle.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common urinary system disorders. They are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and can spread to the bladder resulting in cystitis. Pyelonephritis is the result of a UTI that has ascended to the level of the...

Area of Science:

Parasitology
Tropical Medicine
Epidemiology

Background:

Schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease caused by Schistosoma trematodes, is prevalent in Africa and the Middle East.
Southern Europe, specifically Corsica, has seen emerging cases of urogenital schistosomiasis.
Cases in Corsica were linked to exposure in the Cavu and Solenzara rivers between 2013 and 2019.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and clarify the epidemiological characteristics of urinary schistosomiasis acquired in Corsica.
To outline the clinical presentations associated with Corsican schistosomiasis cases.
To detail the diagnostic particularities for urinary schistosomiasis in this region.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
Data on epidemiological, clinical, and diagnostic aspects were systematically gathered.
Focus was placed on schistosomiasis cases acquired within Corsica.

Main Results:

The study identified specific epidemiological patterns of schistosomiasis emergence in Corsica.
Key clinical signs and symptoms observed in affected individuals were documented.
Diagnostic challenges and effective methods for identifying urinary schistosomiasis were highlighted.

Conclusions:

Urinary schistosomiasis is an emerging parasitic disease in Corsica, France.
Understanding its unique epidemiological, clinical, and diagnostic features is crucial for effective management.
Continued surveillance and awareness are necessary to address this public health concern.
