Schistosomiasis is the most prevalent tropical disease in the world after malaria.
According to the World Health Organization, the disease afflicts more than 240 million people in about 80 countries.
Recently, an epidemiological surveillance study performed between 1997 and 2010 by the European Network for Tropical Medicine and Health Travel regarding schistosomiasis between immigrants and travelers has been published.
No data are available in the literature regarding the situation in South Italy.
Herein, we report the prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis in a population of migrants in Apulia referring to our outpatient clinic for immigrant diseases in the period 2006–2016.
Since all cases of schistosomiasis were related to the last three years of observation, the demographic and clinical characteristics of the study population were compared before and after 2014.
Nearly 51% of all patients visited (1762) were from high/moderate endemic countries for schistosomiasis, and nine cases of urinary schistosomiasis were diagnosed.
Prevalence was 1% among migrants from endemic areas and 10% in those from Mali and Senegal.
Our findings confirm that schistosomiasis is a widespread infection among immigrants, even if it is often underdiagnosed because of the multifaceted clinical presentation.
Changes in migratory dynamics can affect clinical observations very quickly.
