Abstract:
Schistosomiasis is the most frequently imported helminthic infection in The Netherlands. Patients with Schistosoma haematobium infections usually present with fever, hematuria, dysuria, or urinary frequency. The ectopic localizations in female genital schistosomiasis are frequently misdiagnosed or confounded with sexually transmitted diseases or genital tract cancers. This paper describes a patient who presented with vulvar hypertrophy as a symptom of acute female genital schistosomiasis. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to a neglected parasitic disease that in the future will be encountered in increasing numbers in Western Europe.
