One hundred and eight male Egyptian farmers with @entity1412 were reviewed. All @entity1 gave a history of bloody @entity294 . Sixty-one @entity1 presented with finger clubbing, and four of these @entity1 had @entity158 , tender and swollen wrist, knee and @entity3681 . X-ray revealed new bone formation in the bones around these joints. The clinical condition improved with antischistosomal treatment, but the bony changes persisted. Twenty @entity1 showed signs of dependent @entity4 or @entity843 . Thirty-one @entity1 had a liver of 8 cm or more below costal margin and 19 @entity1 had a spleen of 8 cm or more below costal margin, a situation not unlike @entity1 with @entity2040 without @entity1412 . Fifteen @entity1 had tender abdominal masses in the left iliac fossa which were shown by barium enemas to be clusters of @entity1127 . Anti-schistosomal therapy relieved the obstruction but narrowing persisted in 70% of @entity1 followed up. Severity of @entity1412 correlated with the anatomical distribution of the @entity1127 , with their number and with the egg excretion rates.
