Four hundred consecutive autopsy cases were examined in Cairo, Egypt. Sixty percent of cases had Schistosoma haematobium eggs in the tissues and 25% also were infected with S. mansoni. Only a quarter of S. haematobium infections were active, while nearly two-thirds of S. mansoni cases remained active. Adult S. haematobium and S. mansoni were effectively recovered from the mesenteric circulation by a combination of perfusion and dissection. Quantitative recovery from the genitourinary system was reasonably complete, although small numbers of worms were missed in the dissection of these organs.
