The role of schistosomes in the pathologenesis of acute appendicitis in an endemic area was investigated. Of 1600 appendicectomies received in our laboratory, 26 showed appendiceal schistosomiasis, which prompted what we believe to be the first detailed histopathological evaluation of all appendices with schistosomal infestation, without prior knowledge of the clinical and operative diagnoses. The results suggest that there are two types of schistosomal appendicitis, each with distinct clinicopathological features and different pathogenetic mechanisms. They could be called obstructive and granulomatous schistosomal acute appendicitis, respectively.
我们对血吸虫在某流行地区急性阑尾炎发病机制中的作用进行了研究。在我们实验室接收的1600例阑尾切除术中，有26例显示阑尾血吸虫病，这促使我们在对临床和手术诊断不知情的情况下，对所有有血吸虫感染的阑尾进行了我们认为是首次详细的组织病理学评估。结果表明，存在两种类型的血吸虫性阑尾炎，每种类型都有独特的临床病理特征和不同的发病机制。它们可分别称为梗阻性和肉芽肿性血吸虫性急性阑尾炎。
