Copper and ceruloplasmin contents were determined in samples of peripheral and pre-hepatic venous blood of 11 patients with Manson's schistosomiasis and one patient with hepatolenticular degeneration, all of çhich submitted either to porto-caval or spleno-renal shunt. Individual difference were not significant in any of the non-Wilsonian patients. The results are discussed in regard to the current knowledge on the pathogenesis of Wilson's disease.Foram determinadas as concentrações de cobre e ceruloplasmina em amostras de sangue venoso periférico e pré-hepático de 11 pacientes esquistossomóticos e de 1 paciente com degeneração hepatolenticular, submetidos a anastomose portocava ou esplenorrenal. Nos 11 pacientes não wilsonianos, as diferenças individuais não se revelaram estatisticamente significantes.
