Abstract

A young woman who presented with loin pain and pyuria after a prolonged period of investigations and treatment, finally having a nephrectomy for non-functioning kidney, was revealed to have schistosomial infestation with an adult worm in the ureter. Unusually, she only developed bladder manifestations later.
