    AbstractWe report on six patients with suspected chronic schistosomiasis and negative microbiological findings at baseline. All patients were treated empirically with praziquantel and all seroconverted 20 days to two months after treatment. We suggest that seroconversion after praziquantel treatment may be used as a confirmatory diagnostic tool for chronic schistosomiasis.© International Society of Travel Medicine 2023.
