W. D. MALHERBE, A clinico-pathological study of bilharziasis in sheep. Onderstepoort]. vet. Res. 37 (1), 37-44 (1970). Six healthy sheep were artificially infested through skin exposure with graded doses of cercariae of Schistosoma mattbeei Veglia & LeRoux, 1929.

Of all the patients attending a department of genitourinary medicine during a 10-month period, about 2% (1 out of 50) presented with haematuria, or haematuria was discovered on initial examination.

Gonococcal infection was the next commonest cause; one patient with gonorrhoea presented ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the immunohistochemical expression of p63 in bladder cancer and the variation of expression in relation to histological type, grade and stage of the tumour, and whether bilharziasis (endemic in Egypt) has an effect on its expression, in an attempt to better understand the tumour behaviour and the possibility of using p63 as a prognostic marker. PATIENTS AND METHODS In...

In certain endemic areas significant correlation exists between bladder cancer and Schistosoma haematobium infestation in rural males.
