title: Bilharzial uropathies and a scheme for primary medical care.
abstract: Fifty patients suffering from the late effects of urinary bilharziasis were studied. A preliminary idea about the incidence of bilharzial cancer in the endemic area of Jeezan is presented. The role of ileal loop ureteric replacement in extensive ureteropathy is emphasized. A scheme is proposed for the categorisation of bilharzial patients on the basis of their symptoms in order to detect complicated cases at the primary medical care level.
