[Imported schistosomiasis with late complications]. / Behurcolt schistosomiasis késöi szövödménnyel.

ABSTRACT

Schistosomiasis is a worm disease which causes a high mortality rate all over the world. The life span of worms can be 20-30 years, so if the acute phase of the disease is not fatal very often late complications can happen. Here we demonstrate two patients who suffered from different late complications of Schistosomiasis imported to our country. These two cases show the difficulty of diagnosis and therapy of such illnesses.
