Schistosomiasis mansoni is a parasitic infectious disease caused by a trematode(Schistosoma mansoni) that lives in the bloodstream of their definitive host, whose
clinical course can vary from asymptomatic to extremely serious involvement. This
report aims to register a case of schistosomiasis in an individual, apparently healthy,
for a labor that constantly circulates between endemic areas and in several counties
in the state of Goias, a non-endemic region, thus demonstrating the role of migration
on the spread of this disease.
