Fluke infertility: The late cost of a quick swim

Abstract

Schistosomiasis in the returning traveler is closely associated with fresh water exposure in sub-Saharan Africa and is commonly asymptomatic. We describe two patients who presented with unusual gynecological presentations of schistosomiasis many years after travel to endemic areas. The manifestations of female genital schistosomiasis are discussed. © 2010 International Society of Travel Medicine.
