Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharziasis, is a parasitic endemic disease prevalent in tropical regions and a significant public health problem, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The causative agent of urogenital schistosomiasis is Schistosoma haematobium. In France, cases of bilharziasis are rare and mainly diagnosed in tourists, expatriates, and migrants coming from endemic areas.
Diagnosis relies on parasitological examinations, detecting eggs in urine and bladder biopsies. The primary treatment is based on praziquantel, with surgery reserved for complicated cases.
