A case of a patient with schistosomiasis haematobium history, from Mozambique, is presented. This patient was admitted in the Institute of Tropical Medicine for having urination troubles and purulent urethral secretion. Serotype B Haemophilus influenzae, biotype i.v. of the urethra, was isolated. The strain was sensitive to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ceftraxione, and norfloxacin, and resistant to tetracycline and erythromycin. The patient got better after receiving treatment with norfloxacin. A comment is made on the role of this microorganism as a sexual transmission pathogen.
