[Comparative value of parasitological and immunological investigations in the diagnosis of chronic schistosomiasis].
Two group of patients including 63 urinary schistosomiasis and 49 intestinal schistosomiasis were studied with the following investigations: microscopic examination of stools and urines, rectal mucosae biopsy, total IgE dosages, plasmatic proteins values and indirect immunofluorescence. The data obtained led to the following conclusions: --Recovery must be based on the microscopic observation of stools and/or urines and R. M. B. --I. F. I. and IgE dosages alone were not sufficient. --Protides evaluations (IgA, IgG, IgM, orosomucoid, haptoglobin) did not show any informative values and did not seem to be linked with the parasitologic disease.
