Schistosomiasis is a water-borne parasitic disease. It is endemic in tropicaland subtropical countries mainly in Africa and the eastern Mediterranean region.We report a case of a 37-year-old male who attended our hospital for terminalhematuria and irritative voiding symptoms. Schistosoma haematobium eggs werefound in his urine sediment. He underwent transurethral resection of thebladder.
