Summary
We report a probable focus for transmission of schistosomiasis haematobium in Corsica, France. Parasitologic examination of urine confirmed schistosomiasis by detecting viable S. haematobium eggs. The parents of the girl (family A) did not report any stay or travel in an area to which urinary schistosomiasis was endemic; they reported summer holidays only in Mallorca in the Balearic Islands (Spain) and Corsica.
