Abstract
20 patients of schistosomal hepatic fibrosis and splenomegaly (SHF) with and without haematemesis were examined. Typing for HLA‐A, B and C antigens in these patients were compared with those of a group of 100 Egyptian controls. The study showed the presence of an association between HLA‐A1 and B5 antigens in SHF cases. However, there was no significant association between HLA antigens and SHF cases with haematemesis.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
