Abstract:
Urinary schistosomiasis(bilharziasis), caused by digenetic bloodfluke, is an endemic disease in Africa, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Iran, but not in Korea. We report one case of urinary schistosomiasis in Korea, who worked in North Yemen, with the review of literatures.
