Abstract
Schistosoma haematobium is endemic in Iraq, constituting an important health problem in this country [1,2]. Boulanger in 1919 reported the geographical distribution of schistosomiasis in Mesopotamia [2]. More recent reports suggest that the reported incidence of schistosomiasis in the Iraqi adult population is 4.9% [3], and the incidence in autopsy materials in the Medical City Teaching Hospital in Baghdad is 4.4% [4]
