OBJECTIVES
To determine the presence and correlates of S. haematobium in urine specimens of school-going children at Maramba Primary School in Livingstone, Zambia.
METHODS AND SUBJECTS
A structured questionnaire was administered to children with signed consent from their guardians/parents, and spot urine specimens were collected in sterile containers for macroscopic/microscopic examination by an experienced laboratory technologist.
RESULTS
A total of 173 school-going children participated in the study. Parasitic eggs were detected in six specimens with prevalence of 3.47 %, which was strongly associated with presence of microscopic red blood cells (p < 0.01) and washing clothes in a stream (p = 0.01).
CONCLUSION
Low prevalence of urogenital schistosomiasis among school-going children was noted with correlates such as washing in a stream, while an older age group showed much stronger disease association.
目的
在赞比亚利文斯通的马兰巴小学，确定上学儿童尿液样本中是否存在并关联有埃及血吸虫。
方法和对象
对有监护人/父母签字同意的儿童进行了结构化问卷调查，并采集了无菌容器中的点尿样本，由经验丰富的实验室技术员进行宏观/微观检查。
结果
共有 173 名在校儿童参加了这项研究。在 6 个样本中检测到寄生虫卵，患病率为 3.47%，与显微镜下出现红细胞（p<0.01）和在溪流中洗衣服（p=0.01）有很强的关联。
结论
在上学儿童中，尿路血吸虫病的流行率较低，相关因素有在溪流中洗涤，而年龄较大的年龄组显示出更强的疾病关联。
