A study of Schistosoma haematobium egg counts was made in a community near Alexandria. This showed that the intensity of infection was similar to that which has been reported in some of the comparable surveys which have been made in sub-Saharan Africa. This finding highlights the need for further studies in defined communities of the pathogenicity of the infection. The egg counts of subjects who recalled treatment with tartar emetic within the last two years were similar to those who said they had never been treated. This suggests that the cost effectiveness of chemotherapeutic methods needs further evaluation.
在亚历山大港附近的一个社区开展了一项关于埃及血吸虫虫卵计数的研究。结果表明，感染强度与撒哈拉以南非洲地区开展的一些类似调查所报告的情况相似。这一发现凸显了在特定社区进一步研究该感染致病性的必要性。在过去两年内回忆起曾用吐酒石治疗的受试者的虫卵计数，与那些表示从未接受过治疗的受试者的虫卵计数相似。这表明化疗方法的成本效益需要进一步评估。
