| | Splenomegaly was defined as a splenic length greater than 120 mm by ultrasound and the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of criterion A were 72.2%, 90.5%, 35.1% and 97.8%. | | | Their results, however, can hardly be applied to field works, because they were performed in hospitals, where a substantial number of patients had massive splenomegaly, due to leukemia, policytemia vera, lymphoma or complicated portal hypertension, whereas in areas endemic for schistosomiasis, massive splenomegaly should not be expected to be so common. | | | In an non endemic area, 517 individuals were submitted to the same protocol and 22 individuals had a palpable spleen, but no patient fulfilled criterion B for splenomegaly, and only one met the ultrasonographic criterion for splenomegaly. |
