Faculty of Medicine, Abbasia, Cairo, Egypt

A case of urinary bilharziasis in a 12-year-old girl developed a papulopustular eruption involving the skin of the chest, abdomen, thighs and gluteal region. Skin biopsy showed a schistosome egg in the center of a focus of round cells. Following treatment eczematous reactions appeared around the skin lesions, which gradually disappeared, leaving a slight pigmentation behind.
