Hematospermia due to schistosome infection in travelers: Diagnostic and treatment challenges

Abstract

Hematospermia associated with schistosomal infection is a new topic of clinical interest. The features and incidence of this rare complication and the difficulties associated with its treatment have yet to be characterized. We describe 4 patients with hematospermia due to schistosome infection acquired during travel to an area of endemicity.
