Abstract:
Among school children in a rural area the serological diagnosis (ELISA) was more accurate than the parasitological tests. The mean total leucocytic and eosinophilic counts, and the blastogenic response to S. mansoni egg antigen were significantly higher in early than in chronic schistosomal cases. Blastogenic response to mitogens and S. mansoni adults preparation was insignificantly different.
