Schistosome Dermatitis in Seattle, Washington

Abstract
Strigeid cercariae of Trichobilharzia ocellata and T. physellae were encountered in Stagnicola palustris nuttalliana and Physella propinqua, respectively. Both represent new host records. What appears to be an allergic response was noted in 2 cases following sensitization one month previously. Schistosome dermatitis was produced in human volunteers by both spp. of cercariae.
