Overview of the Bilharzia Urine Test
The Bilharzia Urine Test is a specialist laboratory test used to detect evidence of Schistosoma (bilharzia) infection in a urine sample. Bilharzia, also known as schistosomiasis, is a parasitic infection that can be acquired through contact with contaminated freshwater in certain regions of Africa, the Middle East, South America and parts of Asia.
This is a single-biomarker parasitology test that specifically assesses Bilharzia/Schistosoma (Urine). It is commonly requested by travellers, expatriates, aid workers, military personnel and individuals who may have been exposed to freshwater lakes, rivers or reservoirs in areas where schistosomiasis occurs.
Unlike antibody testing, urine-based testing may help identify evidence of the parasite itself within the urinary system and is often requested when urinary schistosomiasis is being investigated.
What Does the Bilharzia Urine Test Check ?
Bilharzia/Schistosoma (Urine) - This test examines the urine sample for evidence associated with Schistosoma parasites. The findings may contribute to the investigation of possible bilharzia exposure, particularly where urinary tract involvement is suspected.
Who May Benefit From the Bilharzia Urine Test?
This test may be suitable for people who want to:
Investigate possible bilharzia exposure after travel
Assess health concerns following freshwater contact abroad
Support investigations into urinary symptoms after travel
Review possible exposure to Schistosoma parasites

When Will I Receive My Results?
Results are typically available approximately 1 day after the laboratory receives the sample.
Once authorised by the laboratory, your report will be sent securely by email for convenient review.
Turnaround times generally begin when the laboratory receives and processes the sample rather than when the sample is collected.

Results outside the expected range should be reviewed with a GP, infectious disease specialist or travel medicine clinician.
Understanding Your Results
Your report will include the laboratory findings for Bilharzia/Schistosoma (Urine) together with any relevant comments or interpretative information provided by the testing laboratory.
Laboratory methods and reporting standards may vary between laboratories. A normal result does not always exclude infection, while an abnormal result does not automatically confirm the full clinical significance of any finding.
Results should always be interpreted alongside symptoms, travel history, freshwater exposure, medical history and any additional investigations. If you have concerns regarding your results, speak with a GP, infectious disease specialist, travel medicine clinician or other suitably qualified healthcare professional.
