THE PREVALENCE OF URINARY SCHISTOSOMIASIS AMONG PEOPLE LIVING IN EMENE

ABSTRACT

A total of 400 urine samples were collected between January-August, 2010 among residents of Emene, Ujodo L.G.D.C of Enugu State. The samples were analysed using standard method- macroscopy for the presence of blood and microscopy for the the ova of schistosomes. Results revealed that 5 of them had the infection- 4(1.0%) and 1(0.25%) females. The highest incidence (2) was among school children aged 8 years followed by children of age 9 and10 years with 1 for each. Those in ages 5, 6, and 7 years had no infection. Results revealed that 4(1.3%) of the pupils had the infection- 3(0.99%) males and 1(0.33%) females. Those aged 8, 9 and 10 recorded 2(0.66%), 1(0.33%) and 1(0.33%) cases respectively.
