Abstract: This paper is a scientific/medical article that reports the case of a male, 32 years of age, with dysuria (painful urination) and abdominal pain, who emigrated three years earlier from Somalia, and was currently employed in a rural Wisconsin community. Several studies and tests on the patient and his consequent treatment with praziquantel are presented. His symptoms are thought to be due to Schistosomiasis (Bilharziasis) which infects the urinary tract or intestines. In the article it is said that this disease can be expected to be seen with increasing frequency in the United States with the continuing influx of immigrants and refugees, as well as the return of travelers and soldiers from endemic areas.
Qoraalkani waa maqaal takhtareed, wuxuuna ka hadlayaa nin soomaali ah, oo ku nool Maraykanka oo qabo cudurka kaadadhiigga. Haddaba waxaa ku badan raba dalka Maraykanka cudurkaas iyo wax la mid ah oo keenay qaxootiga ku soo qulqulaya.
Questo documento è un articolo medico/scientifico che riporta il caso di un uomo di 32 anni, con disuria (urinazione dolorosa) e dolore addominale, emigrato dalla Somalia tre anni prima e impiegato in una comunità rurale del Wisconsin. Sono presentati diversi studi ed esami svolti sul paziente e la conseguente cura con praziquantel. I suoi sintomi sono riconducibili schistosomiasi (detta anche bilharziosi), che infetta il tratto urinario e l'intestino. Nell'articolo si prevede che questa malattia sarà sempre più frequente negli Stati Uniti a causa del continuo flusso di immigrati e rifugiati, così come del ritorno di viaggiatori e soldati dalle aree endemiche.
