title: [Anatomopathologic diagnosis of parasitosis in Congo].
abstract: In the part ten years, 9,650 anatomopathologic examinations have been carried out in the National Laboratory of Histopathology for Public Health in Brazzaville: 250 cases of parasitic infestation were diagnosed. In order of frequency were noted; 144 cases of bilharzia due to Schistosoma haematobium with 75 genito-urinary localisations and 51 appendicular cases, 31 cases of onchocercosis with a majority of subcutaneous nodules (17), 17 cases of digestive helminthiasis all locate in the ileo-caecal-appendix and discovered during systematic appendicular exploration, 13 cases of colitic or recto-sigmoidal amebiasis. These results point out 68 cases of appendicular parasitism. This should be in favour of more systematic anatomopathological examination of the ileo-caecal appendix both in tropical and in temperate regions.
