A Quantitative Post Mortem Analysis of Urinary Schistosomiasis in Egypt. II. Evolution and Epidemiology.

摘要

Further analysis of the data obtained from 190 unselected autopsies at the University of Cairo (Faculty of Medicine) hospitals reinforces our conclusion that a high prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis lead to infection intensity causing severe uropathy and mortality, both directly and by way of complications and sequelae. Analysis of epidemiologically homogeneous population groups reveals close mutual relationships between the total frequency of infection (active plus inactive), the intensity of infection, and the frequency of severe uropath.
