Though it is not usually lethal, schistosomiasis can persist for years without treatment. Symptoms of chronic schistosomiasis are: abdominal pain, enlarged liver, blood in the stool or blood in the urine, and problems passing urine. Chronic infection can also lead to increased risk of bladder cancer.
