Abstract
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by blood flukes commonly found in sub-Saharan Africa and select other areas in Asia and the Americas. The disease can manifest in a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, rarely presenting as acute appendicitis. Herein we report a case of a 36-year-old female patient from a nonendemic area (New York City) with a history of travel presenting with acute appendicitis secondary to instestinal schistosomiasis.
