Abstract
Despite being considered non-endemic for human schistosomiasis, previous studies from India have described at least three endemic foci, with occasional case reports of autochthonous cases and cercarial dermatitis. We report a case of chronic haematuria in a 31-year-old male returning from Malawi due to Schistosoma haematobium.
