Urinary schistosomiasis is produced by Schistosoma haematobium. It is an endemic disease in many regions of the world, non-existent in Chile. We report a case of a young man who traveled to Malawi, in southern Africa, and who returned to Chile. Few years later, he presented a urinary syndrome with macroscopic hematuria. The bladder biopsy showed a granulomatous and eosinophilic cystitis with eggs of Schistosoma haematobium.
