In the rest of Africa the disease is still milder. MANSON-BAHR [13] reported that symptomatology in East Africa due to S. mansoni infection was variable but noted that, in general, the infected indigenous population was symptom-free. Although WYDELL [19] demonst rat ed severe intestinal pathology in the later stages of S . mansoni infection in an isolated African population group on Ukerewe Island in Lake Victoria, and although t he incidence of S . mansoni in this group was high, he noted that intestinal symptoms in active infections were uncommon. Further south, GELFAND [8] from S. Rhodesia report ed that intestinal bilharziasis is almost asymptomatic and he stressed the benign nature of the intestinal lesions. Little work has been done on the clinico-pathological aspects of intestinal bilharziasis in South Africa. TURNER [18] reported that symptoms due to intestinal bilharziasis were variable and were easily mist aken for chronic diarrhoea or t dysentery. HOLLAND [9] considered bilharzial dysentery to be a rare illness. KING [11] reported on the similarities in clinical presentation of amoebiasis and bilharzial dysentery. SCHNEIDER [11] reported that , when present, symptoms were mild in the Transvaal African.]]> Mon 18 Mar 2019 11:37:09 AEDT ]]>
