Significantly increased imported schistosomiasis cases have been reported in China as the economy grows. The aim of this study is to review and summarize the current status, clinical features, and transmission risk of imported infections of Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium in China. A retrospective study was performed to review all information regarding the imported cases of schistosomiasis collected from published literature and the database of the National Notifiable Disease Report System from 1979 to 2019. The characterization of epidemiological and clinical features was analyzed. A total of 355 cases of imported schistosomiasis have been reported in 15 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) in China since 1979, including 78 cases of infection with S. mansoni (21.97%), 262 cases with S. haematobium (73.80%), and 15 cases with unidentified Schistosoma species. Eosinophilia was the most common sign of the infection with S. mansoni (91.03%). The parasitological findings were confirmed in 89.74% (70/78) of cases infected with S. mansoni and 32.06% (84/262) of cases infected with S. haematobium. There was no imported case of infection of Schistosoma japonicum, Schistosoma intercalatum, or Schistosoma mekongi reported in China during this period. Praziquantel is the best therapeutic drug for curing imported schistosomiasis. In addition, Biomphalaria straminea, the intermediate host of S. mansoni, has already been found in Guangdong province in south China. There is a rising risk that the existence of the intermediate host B. straminea and the imported cases of S. mansoni infection could cause the spread of the infections and make these endemic. Thus, better understanding of the clinical features and the transmission pattern of these Schistosoma infections would assist Chinese physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of these imported schistosomiasis cases.
