Abstract:
A total of 785 individuals from an endemic area of schistosomiasis japonica had parasito-logical and physical examination done. A morbidity questionnaire about symptoms of schisto-somiasis within the past 2wk was also administered to each participant. Among those infected people,there was a significant increase in diarrhea,bloody stool and weakness during the pre-vious two weeks. Hepatomegaly and splenomegaly were related to the history of schistosomi-asis japonica.
