In a prospective study, 138 African patients with infertility and 42 patients with incomplete abortion were examined for evidence of bilharziasis. There appeared to be a significant association between primary infertility and bilharziasis due to Schistosoma haematobium.

PIP: From June 1974 to March 1975, 138 patients in Malawi who were suffering from infertility were examined for schistosoma ova by rectal biopsy. 42 control patients who had incomplete abortions were also examined for bilharziasis. S. haematobium was discovered in 41.3% of the infertile group and in 21.4% of the control group. Although pregnancies were not required to be reported 4 patients with primary infertility were treated for bilharziasis and became pregnant. There seems to be a relationship between primary infertility and asymtomatic bilharziasis caused by S. haematobium. There is a lack of association between secondary infertility possibly due to other forms of pelvic inflammatory disease.
