Schistosomiasis misdiagnosed as abdominal tuberculosis

Schistosomiasis (also termed bilharzia, after the tropical disease specialist Theodor Bilharz) is a waterborne parasitic infection. It was first described in the appendix in 1909, but despite awareness of the disease for more than a century, few data on its exact incidence are available.
