Recent changes in global migration has led to an immigration growth in our scenario, upsurging people coming from endemic areas of schistosomiasis. Schistosomal appendicitis, seldom reported in developed countries, is now an expected incrising entity in our hospitals during the near future. Due to this circumstances, we believe that schistosomiasis should be consider as a rising source for acute appendicitis in western countries. In order to illustrate this point, we present a case of a 45-years-old black man, from Africa, was admitted via A&amp;E because of acute abdominal pain, located in right lower quadrant. Acute appendicitis was suspected, and he underwent laparotomy and appendectomy. Pathological study by microscope revealed a gangrenous appendix with abscesses and parasitic ova into the submucosal layer of the appendix, suggesting Schistosomiasis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/896820","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,27]],"date-time":"2012-06-27T14:54:12Z","timestamp":1340808852000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Intestinal Schistosomiasis as Unusual Aetiology for Acute Appendicitis, Nowadays a Rising Disease in Western Countries"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"I.","family":"L\u00f3pez de Cenarruzabeitia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Clinic University Hospital of Valladolid, Level 3, 47011 Valladolid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Landolfi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Histology Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Histology Department Building, Passeig de la Vall d'Hebron, 119-129, 08035 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Armengol Carrasco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Level 4, Passeig de la Vall d'Hebron, 119-129, 08035 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1","first-page":"1","volume":"12","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Travel Medicine"},{"issue":"1","key":"2","first-page":"9","volume":"12","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Travel Medicine"},{"issue":"3","key":"3","first-page":"164","volume":"10","year":"2003","journal-title":"Journal of Travel Medicine"},{"issue":"1","key":"4","first-page":"3","volume":"12","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Travel Medicine"},{"issue":"2","key":"5","first-page":"87","volume":"19","year":"2000","journal-title":"Egyptian Journal of Surgery"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.15.1648"},{"issue":"10","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"766","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200209053471017","volume":"347","year":"2002","journal-title":"The New England Journal of Medicine"},{"issue":"3","key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1177\/000313480807400308","volume":"74","year":"2008","journal-title":"American Surgeon"},{"issue":"10","key":"9","first-page":"528","volume":"83","year":"2006","journal-title":"East African Medical Journal"},{"issue":"8","key":"10","first-page":"533","volume":"7","year":"2005","journal-title":"Israel Medical Association Journal"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/PL00012374"},{"issue":"3","key":"12","first-page":"371","volume":"55","year":"2000","journal-title":"Medical Journal of Malaysia"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2000-7520"},{"key":"14","year":"1989"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Infectious Diseases"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2012\/896820.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2012\/896820.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2012\/896820.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,19]],"date-time":"2022-01-19T16:55:19Z","timestamp":1642611319000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2012\/896820\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":14,"alternative-id":["896820","896820"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2012\/896820","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6625","2090-6633"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6625","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6633","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
