The prevalence of the disease in areas frequented by tourists urges for permanent prevention and control. The aim of this study was to describe the morbidity of schistosomiasis in the district of Antônio Pereira, Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: The proportion of positives was defined by Kato-Katz coproscopy and urinary POC-CCA rapid test. Hepatosplenic form was diagnosed using abdominal ultrasound. Results: Out of 180 participants,97 were examined by Kato-Katz, with 4 (4.1%) being positive. Thirtyfour (22.1%) out of 154 were positive by POC-CCA. Five (2.8%) of 177 examined by ultrasound had hepatosplenic form. One of them had undergone splenectomy. One (0.6%)participant had myeloradiculopathy. Conclusions: Severe forms of schistosomiasis are still prevalent in low endemic areas and should be thoroughly investigated.en-USabertoHepatosplenic schistosomiasisKato-KatzAbdominal ultrasoundArtigo publicado em periodicoA Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical permite o depósito das versões pré-print e pós-print de um artigo.
