Abstract
This paper describes the nature of bladder calcification in urinary schistosomiasis. Ten patients who showed calcification on X-ray during life were examined at autopsy and the calcium was shown to be confined to the ova. Bladder calcification indicates a heavy bilharzial infection.Keywords
