title: [Anatomicopathological aspects of genital bilharziasis in women].
abstract: The localisations of the genital bilharziosis of the woman are not very known. However, they are responsible of many functional sequelae: pelvic aches, menstrual troubles, aberrant nidations, spontaneous abortions, permanent sterilities. From 43 anatomic taking investigated from 1971 to 1982 and from the literature they have collected, the authors successively study the localisations of the genital bilharziosis on ovary (21 %), uterine tube (16 %), uterine cervix (42 %), vulva, vagina and clitoris (21 %). They describe the histologic responsible lesions and their pathogenic mechanism. They dwell upon the fact that, in much cases, the eggs of Schistosoma haematobium, included in the tissues, are responsible of those anatomo-pathologic manifestations.
