Neuroschistosomiasis due to Schistosoma haematobium presenting as spinal cord tumor
Pediatr Infect Dis J.
2011 Nov.
Abstract
Schistosomiasis is rarely encountered in the United States, but immigration and travel to endemic areas make it important to know its various presentations to improve diagnosis and treatment. We present our experience with a child with Schistosoma haematobium pseudotumor, initially diagnosed as a cord neoplasm.
