Urinary bilharziasis is a parasitic disease caused by Schistosome haematobium which is prevalent in several African and Middle East countries. The closeness of the Canary Islands to the African continent and a greater population mobility have allowed us to diagnose and treat ten patients, all of them natural of this region. This paper outlines the case-reports, and reviews this parasitic disease which seriously affects the urinary tract and which must be specifically contemplated both in emigrants and occasional visitors from endemic regions.
