Abstract

The paper describes a case of acute schistosomiasis caused by S. mansoni in a Moscow tourist who has visited Tanzania. It is noted that it is objectively difficult to parasitologically confirm this infestation in its acute stage. The problems of the accessibility of information on the prevention of tropical diseases in tourists are discussed.
