With the rapid development of basic and clinical medicine, diagnostic methods for late schistosomiasis and its complications have advanced significantly, and treatment techniques have improved markedly. To systematically introduce new theories and diagnostic and treatment technologies for late schistosomiasis and its complications from domestic and international research, the editors organized the writing of this book. It covers the pathogenesis, clinical symptoms and signs, clinical and laboratory diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and internal and surgical treatments of late schistosomiasis and its complications.
