In S. haematobium infection, ova are located in the bladder and ureters, leading to granuloma formation, inflammation, hematuria, ureteral obstruction, secondary infection and often carcinoma of the bladder. 7-10 Ova are also commonly present in the seminal vesicles and prostate 11 12 , and rare instances of prostatic adenocarcinoma have been reported in such patients. 13

• Areas of chronic inflammation, fibrous tissue and calcifications ("sandy patches") in the genital mucosa and bladder contain ova, and are considered pathognomonic for S. haematobium infection. 14 15

• Genital lesions may present a risk factor for acquisition of HIV infection 16 ; and schistosomal co-infection may accelerate HIV disease progression and facilitate viral transmission to sexual partners. 17

• Terminal hematuria and dysuria are common symptoms.
