Thirty consecutive cases of portal hypertension seen in a surgical unit in Lusaka, Zambia, are reported. Of these cases 70% were due to portal fibrosis caused by Schistosoma mansoni infestation. Portacaval shunting was undertaken in most cases. Patients with portal fibrosis responded more favourably to portal decompression than did patients with cirrhosis. It is probable that the condition is more common than is generally reconigzed in areas where S. mansoni infestation is endemic.
本文报告了赞比亚卢萨卡一家外科病房连续收治的30例门静脉高压病例。其中70%的病例是由曼氏血吸虫感染引起的门静脉纤维化所致。大多数病例都进行了门腔分流术。门静脉纤维化患者对门静脉减压的反应比肝硬化患者更有利。在曼氏血吸虫感染流行的地区，这种疾病可能比普遍认为的更为常见。
