An unusual case of XXXX in a French family returning from Corsica.

UNASSIGNED: @entity14454 caused by @entity4114 worms is endemic to tropical regions where it is the most common cause of @entity811 . However, the intermediate @entity4245 hosts, Bulinus truncatus, have been described in Portugal, Spain, Sardinia, and Corsica. @entity4114 has long remained exotic to Europe, however, an outbreak of @entity14454 in Corsica started in 2011 with B. truncatus as the primary intermediate host. We describe the case of a 12-year-old French @entity1 presenting @entity811 and @entity3833 who was diagnosed with @entity14454 . Urine examination confirmed the presence of viable parasitic ova. He also had a positive serology. Since there was no history of travel to a @entity2040 endemic region, the probable area of contamination was identified as the south of Corsica where the family had spent their summer holidays 7 months earlier. Two other family members had a positive serology without ova excretion in urine. The @entity1 were treated with praziquantel. In light of these recent locally acquired cases in France, @entity2040 should be considered in the differential diagnosis of @entity811 , especially in @entity1 who have recently visited Corsica.
