Bilharzia of the Fallopian tube

The incidence of bilharziasis of the Fallopian tube was studied in a control group of patients and in patients with ectopic pregnancies and severe salpingitis, but no significant difference was found. Two groups of 55 patients, each of which comprised 17 with ectopic pregnancies and 38 with severe pelvic sepsis, were studied for parity, symptoms and signs. Patients in one group suffered from tubal bilharziasis and those in the other did not. The findings in these two groups were similar and a typical clinical picture for bilharziasis was not found.
