title: [Clinical, laparoscopic and histologic study of 60 patients with schistosomiasis mansoni].
abstract: Schistosomiasis mansoni was diagnosed to 60 patients coming from the African continent. Coproparasitologic study by Knight technique was performed to all of them, and presence of parasite eggs was demonstrated. The hematologic study showed eosinophilia and the study of the hepatic profile was normal. The patients were clustered into three groups in order to be treated with different drugs. Laparoscopic study and hepatic biopsy were performed to all patients at their admission to hospital and one year after treatment. Effectiveness of praziquantel accounted for 95% of oxamniquine for 75% and etrenol for 55%.
