An imported case of combined Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium infection occurring in Liberia is reported. A young girl of 15 years, who had recently returned from the neighbouring country of Guinea, presented with 04 months history of passing blood in stools. Schistosoma mansoni ova were found in stool and Schistosoma haematobium ova in urine. She was treated with tablet praziquantel. She became symptom-free in four weeks and the number of ova passed in stool and urine decreased.
