Abstract
Schistosomiasis is one of the most widespread parasitic infections in man. Neuroschistosomiasis, referring to schistosomal involvement of the central nervous system, is an uncommon but well recognised complication of schistosomal infection. The duration between time of infection and onset of neurological symptoms typically varies between weeks to months. We describe a case of transverse myelitis secondary to neuroschistosomiasis, presenting more than three years after the time of initial schistosomal infection, diagnosed and treated in the district general hospital setting.
