Perforation of the appendix due to intestinal schistosomiasis at a tertiary hospital in North Central Nigeria
In Nigeria, schistosomiasis is endemic and intestinal form affects the various internal organs. However, perforation of the appendix secondary to intestinal schistosomiasis is few. We report the case of a 35-year-old male with perforation of the appendix due to infestation with Schistosoma mansoni, following histopathological examination of the appendix after a laparotomy.
