Abstract

There are only few urinary schistosomiasis cases reported from Turkey. These recently diagnosed cases are either associated with overseas journeys or observed in foreign citizens visiting our country as afflicted with disease from abroad. Our case was infected when working in Africa and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the bladder by mistake at the outset. The patient, who had recovered after a single-day praziquantel therapy, applied to our clinic due to a relapse after 21 months, underwent therapy with praziquantel for the second time. This case was presented for discussion with respect to the presence of a chronic disease despite therapy and the diagnostic dilemma.

Özet

Türkiye'den yayımlanmış üriner şistosomiyaz olgularının sayısı oldukça azdır. Son yıllarda saptanmış bu olgular ya yurt dışı seyahatle ilişkilidir ya da yurt dışından hastalığa yakalanmış olarak ülkemize gelen yabancı uyruklu kişilerdir. Afrika'da çalıştığı sırada infekte olan olgumuza ilk başta yanılgıya düşülerek nonhodgking mesane lenfoması tanısı konulmuştur. Tek günlük pirazikuantel tedavisinden sonra düzelen ancak 21 ay sonra nüksle başvuran hastaya ikinci kez prazikuantel tedavisi yapıldı. Bu olgu tedaviye rağmen kronikleşmesi ve tanı güçlüğü bakımından tartışılmak amacıyla sunuldu.
