It is caused by trematode parasites living within the veins of their human host, where they mate and produce fertilized eggs. The eggs are either shed into the environment through feces or urine, or are retained in host tissues where they induce inflammation and then die. The genital form is caused by\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Schistosoma haematobium<\/jats:italic>\n                    and affects both the urinary and genital tracts in up to 75% of infected individuals, both male and female. Female genital schistosomiasis is a challenging and potentially lethal condition and may affect the whole genital tract leading to a wide range of urinary, sexual, and reproductive health problems. The main reasons leading women to health services are infertility and genital nonspecific symptoms including vaginal discharge, pruritus, pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and haematuria. Other severe complications caused by schistosomiasis include increased risk of HIV and HPV infection, genital ulcers, miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy. We report in the present case study a 23-year-old female with schistosomiasis and ruptured ectopic tubal pregnancy successfully managed in a low-income setting.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/17455057251387469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,16]],"date-time":"2025-10-16T12:16:35Z","timestamp":1760616995000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Schistosomiasis and ruptured ectopic pregnancy: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Juleca Manuela Sobrejale","family":"Ucama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Beira Central Hospital, Mozambique"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lee","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health, Performance and Wellbeing, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Biruni University, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Pires","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Beira Central Hospital, Mozambique"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pita","family":"Tom\u00e1s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Beira Central Hospital, Mozambique"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivo","family":"Jone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Beira Central Hospital, Mozambique"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rogerio","family":"Ucama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Quelimane Central Hospital, Mozambique"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4122-0774","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damiano","family":"Pizzol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Department, Eni Mozambique, Maputo, Mozambique"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angelica","family":"Stellato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical-Surgical Sciences and Biotechnologies, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4008-4937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Maggioni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
