Abstract
Schistosomiasis is a disease as old as antiquity, and together with other systemic and intestinal infections plagued military and civilian populations long before cause and effect relationships were hypothesized and definitively proven. The Ebers papyrus describes urinary symptomatology consistent with schistosomiasis; characteristic schistosome ova were identified from the kidneys of Egyptians mummified more than 3,000 years ago [148]. During the French occupation of Egypt (1799–1801), large numbers of troops exhibited symptoms of the disease. It is believed that Napoleon suffered urinary attacks and dysentery as a result of exposure to the infection [6].
