Abstract
Three schistosomiasis patients pathologically diagnosed were detected in Luxi City, Yunnan Province, a non-endemic area of schistosomiasis. All the cases were hospitalized for serious intestinal diseases, and Schistosoma japonicum eggs were detected under their colonic mucosa. The 3 patients all denied they had contacted with infested water outside their resident place, and it was suggested that they might be infected in the local area.
