| Abstract: | Schistosomiasis is the most serious helminthic infection in the United Kingdom. Female genital schistosomiasis affects 9-13 million women worldwide, mainly in areas where Schistosoma haematobium is endemic. With increasing tourism to these areas, this diagnosis is being encountered more frequently in the West. We present 2 cases of vulval schistosomiasis that were presented to our department in 1999 and 2000. |
