Abstract:
:Three hundred and forty-nine autopsy cases of schistosomiasis japonica were divided into two groups, based on the pathomorphology. Frequent regressive hepatic lesions such as active schistosomal lesion and destruction of limiting plates characterized the first group. The second group showed reparative hepatic lesions such as regeneration of the collapsed parenchyma, newly formed limiting plates and subsequent narrowing and disappearance of fibrous septa. Complications of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma related to viral hepatitis B and/or C also increased. Clonorchiasis was consistently found in both groups.
