Is it true that Haematuria is a symptom of schistosomiasis?
Yes. Hematuria is a well-established clinical symptom and diagnostic indicator of urogenital schistosomiasis, caused by the deposition of parasite eggs in the urinary tract.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 8 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The analysis
The retrieved papers consistently report hematuria (both microhaematuria and macrohaematuria) as a primary clinical sign, symptom, and diagnostic proxy for urogenital schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium. There are no papers refuting this well-documented relationship.
