Resume

Les lésions génitales masculines dues àSchistosoma haematobium sont rares dans nos régions. Pourtant les travaux de Chaker en 1889 et de Lortet et Vialleton qui ont décrit les premières lésions des vésicules séminales en sont le témoignage. Nous rapportons un cas de prostatite bilharzienne de découverte anatomo-pathologique chez un patient de 65 ans après résection transurétrale de prostate.

Abstract

Male genital lesions due to Schistosoma haematobium are rare in our environment. However, they were already reported by Chaker in 1889 and by Lortet and Vialleton who described the first lesions in seminal vesicles. We herein describe one case of schistosomal prostatitis discovered accidently in a 65-year-old patient after transurethral resection.
