ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Schistosomiasis is an ancient disease still affecting more than 200 million people worldwide; calcified Schistosome eggs were discovered in Egyptian mummies (1200-900 BC). A 25-year-old man presented to the emergency department with heartburn. He immigrated to the United States from Sub-Saharan Africa. His physical exam revealed hepatosplenomegaly, and he was eventually diagnosed with Schistosomiasis.
