Abstract

OBJECTIVES

Schistosomiasis is still a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Cameroon. In this context, a cross-sectional study was carried out from June 2023 to July 2023 in the Ndikiniméki subdivision, with the aim of knowing the status of this locality in relation to infection.

METHODS

A parasitologic analysis of eggs was carried out on urine samples using the sedimentation technique.

RESULTS

A total of 402 urine samples were collected from households. The age range of participants was 1-96 years, with the most signified age group being 1-9 years. Women were the most represented, with a proportion of 56.47%. Of the 402 people examined, 18 (4.45%) were affected, with an average intensity of 54.43 ± 85.30 eggs/10 mL urine. Women were the most affected, with a prevalence and average parasite intensity of 3.73% and 53.10 ± 131.27 eggs/10 mL of urine. The most affected age group was 10-19 years, with a prevalence and intensity of 4.60% and 49.49 ± 67.00 eggs per 10 mL of urine, respectively. Of those infected, 72.22% were lightly infected and 27.28% were heavily infected.

CONCLUSIONS

This study indicates that this locality is a risk area for urinary schistosomiasis despite its low prevalence.

摘要

目的

血吸虫病在撒哈拉以南非洲地区仍是一个公共卫生问题，在喀麦隆尤为如此。在此背景下，于2023年6月至2023年7月在恩迪基尼梅基分区开展了一项横断面研究，旨在了解该地区的感染状况。

方法

采用沉淀技术对尿液样本进行虫卵的寄生虫学分析。

结果

共从家庭中收集了402份尿液样本。参与者的年龄范围为1至96岁，最主要的年龄组为1至9岁。女性占比最高，为56.47%。在402名受检者中，18人（4.45%）受到感染，平均感染强度为54.43±85.30个虫卵/10mL尿液。女性受影响最大，患病率和平均寄生虫感染强度分别为3.73%和53.10±131.27个虫卵/10mL尿液。受影响最大的年龄组为10至19岁，患病率和感染强度分别为4.60%和49.49±67.00个虫卵/10mL尿液。在感染者中，72.22%为轻度感染，27.28%为重度感染。
