Résumé
Earlier studies found characteristic haematological changes in African patients with active schistosomiasis. If consistently present, full blood counts (FBC) may be helpful to diagnose schistosomiasis also in migrants and returning travellers. A retrospective patient record review was conducted on data from seven European travel clinics, comparing FBC of Data analysis included 382 subjects (median age 21.0 years [range 2-73]). In returned travellers, decreases in means of haemoglobin particularly in females (β = -0.82 g/dL, Active egg-producing
