A total of 65 rabbits were infected with Schistosoma japonicum. The lungs were examined 48 to 400 days after the infection and pathologically classified into four categories according to the extent of the pulmonary lesions. Both parenchymatous and vascular pulmonary lesions were generally found to have a focal distribution. The quantity of eggs in the lung tissue corresponded to the extent of the pulmonary lesions, and both were related to duration of the infection. It was concluded that the extent of the pulmonary lesions can be attributed to a gradual accumulation of egg emboli in the lung and the protraction of the infection. Diffuse pulmonary lesions leading to cor pulmonale only rarely occur.
