We report a case of intestinal schistosomiasis in a patient who had not travelled outside Europe after migrating 20 years ago. Images of the Schistosoma mansoni eggs are shown that confirm the active nature of the infection.

Keywords: Glycerol sedimentation; Immigrant; Schistosoma mansoni; Schistosomiasis.
