An unsual case in India was reported with an Isolated Hematuria with Anemia due to Schistosoma Haematobium. A male North African patient aged with 22 years admitted in hospital in Hyderabad with chief complaints of hematuria with dysuria, fever with night sweats and shortness of breath during exercise. His skin appears as pale. His history known that he came to India for his academics. He has a habit of swimming in lake at his country. He has no known past medical history and medication history. His blood reports were found to be low hemoglobin levels and low RBC count. His urine analysis results with reddish colored erythrocytes and crystals with an absence of proteins and casts. Microscopic examination of urine detects Schistosoma Haematobium eggs by using repeated concentration techniques.
