Abstract : Schistosomiasis mansoni occurs principally in Africa and Western Asia. It is one 01 the mOst important endemic diseases in Egypt. Most of the histopathologic investigations of Schistosomia&is mansoni were I:arried out on the intestinal mucosa and it was done using H.&E. and/or alkaline phosphatase. The gingiva is considered a mirror image of what happens insidethe bodyand as it is easy to reach and take a biopsyfrom,so we chose it for our investigation,speciallythat the patient may spend a very long time (up to 30 years) being unaware of the presence of the disease. Sixty patients of uncontrolled Schistosomiasis mansoni (from the outpatient clinic of Tudor-Belharz Institute, Cairo) as well as 15 patients from the Orthodontic Clinic of Kasr El-Einy with normal healthy gingiva to serve as controls. Every patient was subjected to thoroughscalingand good oral hygienefor 30 days before taking gingival biopsies from the gingiva opposite the upper left canine and premolar. All biopsies were fixed in 10% neutral formalin, Boin, Susa and Carnoy's fixatives. The prepared sections (thickness of 5 pm) were stained with, Harris haematoxylin and eosin stain, Weigert's method for fibers, Alkaline phosphatase by an Azo Dye reaction. Acid phosphatase dye method, and Unna's method for mast cells.
