Abstract

In a Swiss woman who had travelled in Africa ovarian and tubal bilharziasis (Schistosoma haematobium) was found by chance during laparotomy. In both sexes genital bilharziasis is nearly always caused by Sch. haematobium and is a complication of bilharziasis of the bladder and intestine. Genital bilharziasis in woman is found principally in the cervix and in the vagina, less commonly on the vulva and in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and rarely in the body of the uterus.
