Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection caused by trematodes (flatworms). It is second only to malaria in public health significance, with an estimated 200 million people infected worldwide. Schistosoma haematobium is endemic in Africa and the Middle East. This case study discusses a 36-year-old Somalian male who immigrated to a Northeastern city in the United States from a refugee camp in Kenya. He presented with episodic gross hematuria and flank pain, and was eventually diagnosed with urinary tract schistosomiasis, which was successfully treated with praziquantel. While the disease is not common in the United States, this case is presented for both its urological and cultural considerations.
血吸虫病是一种由吸虫（扁形虫）引起的寄生虫感染。它在公共卫生重要性方面仅次于疟疾，全球估计有2亿人感染。埃及血吸虫在非洲和中东地区流行。本病例研究讨论了一名36岁的索马里男性，他从肯尼亚的难民营移民到美国东北部的一个城市。他出现间歇性肉眼血尿和侧腹痛，最终被诊断为尿路血吸虫病，用吡喹酮成功治愈。虽然这种疾病在美国并不常见，但出于泌尿学和文化方面的考虑，仍展示此病例。
