Abstract
Different diagnostic tests were evaluated in a cluster of six European travellers with acute schistosomiasis (AS) acquired in Mozambique. Adult worm and soluble egg antibodies, circulating anodic antigen (CAA) and DNA detection allowed early confirmation of AS. CAA permitted monitoring treatment response and Sm1-7 polymerase chain reaction allowed identification of Schistosoma mansoni complex.
