The pathology of ureteric bilharziasis

The danger of ureteric involvement in vesical bilharziasis has been emphasized from the time of the earliest workers to present-day observers in Egypt. Egypt is a hyperendemic for <i>S. haematobium</i>. Subsequently workers from epidemic areas outside Egypt, more particularly Kirkaldy-Willis from East Africa, Gelfand, and Honey and Gelfand from Southern Rhodesia, reported findings similar to those in Egypt.
