The present study was carried out on 429 children below 6 years of age from a village in Bani-Suef governorate to show the schistosomiasis prevalence rate among them. Direct sedimentation techniques of the urine and stool beside an indirect serological test (Dot-ELISA) were used for the diagnosis. The results indicate 14.5% and 26.3% positive cases as detected parasitologically and serologically, respectively. Other parasitic infections were also diagnosed. The serologic test enabled us to differentiate acute from chronic schistosomiasis cases in the studied sample. The serologically positive infants may suggested the congenital transmission of immunologic information rather than active infection. On the other hand, there were no correlations between the schistosomiasis incidence and both the anthropometric measurement and organ involvements.
本研究对贝尼苏韦夫省一个村庄的429名6岁以下儿童进行，以显示他们当中血吸虫病的患病率。采用尿液和粪便直接沉淀技术以及间接血清学检测（斑点酶联免疫吸附测定）进行诊断。结果表明，通过寄生虫学和血清学检测分别发现14.5%和26.3%的阳性病例。还诊断出了其他寄生虫感染。血清学检测使我们能够在研究样本中区分急性和慢性血吸虫病病例。血清学呈阳性的婴儿可能提示免疫信息的先天性传递而非活动性感染。另一方面，血吸虫病发病率与人体测量和器官受累情况均无相关性。
