Hepatosplenomegaly accompanied with different intestinal troubles is more or less a marked clinical manifestations in children. The histopathological and histochemical changes were studied in biopsied materials taken from the sigmoidal and rectal tissues of 49 children. These children had schistosomiasis mansoni (26), schistosomiasis and amoebiasis (4), schistosomiasis and tuberculosis (TB.) (2), amoebiasis (4), thalassemia (6), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (1), mucopolysaccharidosis (1) and bacillary dysentery (5). The pathological changes were erosion ulceration hyperplasia, atrophy, crypt-abscess and fibrosis (mucosa) and oedema, congestion, cellular infiltration (Lamina propria). The chemical changes were the mucin secretion, deposition of collagen and fibrin and activity of the argentaffin cells. Not all the disease agent had the same effect, but changes were marked mainly in children with S. mansoni and/or E. histolytica.
