Abstract

Acute schistosomiasis (ASC) is a hypersensitivity reaction seen mostly in nonimmune travelers and manifests mainly with fever, urticaria, and respiratory symptoms. We describe unusual severe presentations of ASC in 3 patients, including hip-monoarthritis, peri-myocarditis, and optic neuritis. In all 3 patients, clinical symptoms appeared or worsened after praziquantel administration.
