AB  - Most cases of urogenital parasitosis are registered in Africa. However, migration movements and travellers moving from developed to developing countries are responsible for leading to an increased incidence of genitourinary infections caused by parasites in the western world including Spain having serious economic and health implications. The importance of its early detection and treatment also results from its potential risk for infertility, susceptibility for HIV infection and the development of bladder cancer. The most common presentation symptom is terminal haematuria, and when diagnosed, praziquantel is the treatment of choice. We report a series of 6 cases of urinary schistosomiasis that happened in a single centre in Spain and reminds the importance of having the infection in mind in certain cases of haematuria study.
