Acute schistosomiasis in travellers to endemic regions often remains unrecognized. Early diagnosis is important to avoid progression to chronic disease. Diagnosis is based on clinical, epidemiological and laboratory data. The role of imaging techniques as diagnostic tools remains to be established in acute clinical schistosomiasis. We describe hypodense nodules in the liver on ultrasound and CT scanning in a patient with acute schistosomiasis (Katayama syndrome). To our knowledge this is the first description of nodular hepatic lesions in acute schistosomiasis.
前往流行地区的旅行者中，急性血吸虫病常常未被识别。早期诊断对于避免病情发展为慢性病很重要。诊断基于临床、流行病学和实验室数据。在急性临床血吸虫病中，成像技术作为诊断工具的作用仍有待确定。我们描述了一名急性血吸虫病（Katayama综合征）患者肝脏在超声和CT扫描上的低密度结节。据我们所知，这是急性血吸虫病中肝脏结节性病变的首次描述。
