Abstract
Hematobium species of this parasite tends to bladder and mesenteric arteries and it causes lesions in the bladder wall, urethra, and renal tubes. A 25-year-old man living in Tehran (a non-endemic and very rare area for schistosoma) suffers from symptoms such as hematuria with suprapubic pain, dysuria, fever, nausea and vomiting. Urine analysis showed a lot of red blood cells, after using cystoscopy of the area and receiving a bladder biopsy, a definitive diagnosis of schistosomiasis was made and after determining the extent of damage to the urinary tract, appropriate treatment with surgery and praziquantel (40 mg/kg) were prescribed. © 2020
