%X the present study was carried out at the army central hospital, rio de janeiro, brazil, from september 2000 to december 2001, employing diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid labeled with technetium-99m (99mtc-dtpa) to evaluate the renal function of nineteen symptomatic patients infected with s. haematobium during a peace mission in mozambique. results evidenced that the most frequent clinical manifestations were hematuria (68.4%) and low back pain (68.4%) and 73.7% patients had altered dynamic renal scintigraphy expressed by an increase in the excretory phase independently of the symptoms duration; furthermore, none of them had mechanical obstructive pattern. schistosoma haematobium glomerulopathy could be considered a pathological finding without correlation with the disease clinical manifestations.
