Abstract
•Ultra-sonography of the urinary tract was performed in 100 migrants with S. haematobium eggs detected in urine microscopy. Prevalence of UGS-related abnormalities was 33.7%, with major abnormalities in 6.3%.•Contrary to endemic areas, no single factor was found to be associated with these complications.•Ultrasonography is the gold standard for detection of UGS complications in primary care settings.•Up until now, urine microscopy has remained the single means of detection of UGS complications outside endemic regions; that is why it should be used during the first step-diagnosis.
