Travel-related schistosomiasis is usually associated with prolonged freshwater exposure. Until recently, Uganda's crater lakes were considered schistosomiasis free due to their high-altitude location. We describe an outbreak of acute schistosomiasis after a brief exposure (mean, 22 ± 9.5 minutes) to a high-altitude crater lake.
旅行相关的血吸虫病通常与长时间接触淡水有关。直到最近，由于乌干达火山口湖所处的高海拔位置，人们一直认为这些湖不存在血吸虫病。我们描述了一起在短暂接触（平均 22 ± 9.5 分钟）高海拔火山口湖后爆发的急性血吸虫病。
