Urinary schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma Haematobium can affect the genitourinary tract. Early diagnosis and Praziquantel treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in patients with this parasitic infection.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Urinary schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma Haematobium, is a parasitic disease affecting the genitourinary system.
  • Mixed Bilharziosis, involving multiple Schistosoma species, presents diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case series of 5 patients (4 male, 1 female) with mixed Bilharziosis is presented.
  • Initial presentation involved a young male with hematuria, initially suspected of bladder cancer.
  • Schistosoma Haematobium eggs were found in urine, and Schistosoma Mansoni in semen of affected males.

Findings:

  • All 5 patients with mixed Bilharziosis showed favorable outcomes following Praziquantel treatment.
  • The study highlights the detection of Sch. Haematobium eggs in urine and Sch. Mansoni in semen.

Implications:

  • Schistosomiasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dysuric syndromes and hematuria in young patients, especially in non-endemic areas.
  • Epidemiological history is vital for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent chronic schistosomiasis complications.
  • Praziquantel is an effective treatment for urinary schistosomiasis and mixed Bilharziosis.
