Abstract

Schistosomiasis is an acute and chronic parasitic disease caused by blood flukes (trematode worms) of the genus Schistosoma. It is one of the leading cause of some death in some part of African country and Nigeria. People are infected during routine agricultural, domestic, occupational, and recreational activities, which expose them to infested water. One hundred randomly selected patients attending Federal Medical Centre Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria, using the recommended sample clean universal bottle and a bio-data form was given to each of the patient. Routine examination of urine for Schistosoma haematobium was done according to Monica Cheesbrough, (2000) and was used to examine to determine the occurrences and prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium. The infection rate varied with age reaching the peak among 20-39yrs, males with an infection rate 9 (2.8%) were significantly more infected than females, with an infection rate of 1 (3.3%). Haematuria was more prevalent among males with an infection rate of 2 (4%) as opposed to 0 (0%) in females. Those engage in either farming or fishing activities had the highest prevalence. It is seen that people living in riverine area are the most affected with Schistosomiasis and the study reveals that knowledge about the cause, transmission, symptoms and prevention of urinary Schistosomiasis is inadequate. This could be a challenging obstacle to the elimination of Schistosomiasis. Mass chemotherapy should be emphasized and those living in revering area are advice to properly treat water and try to eradicate snails which serve as vector for Schistosoma haematobium. Total eradication of snail minimized the spread or transmission of Schistosoma haematobium. Treatment for those infected will help to solve the problems because it is socio-economic impact, World Health Organization is introducing vaccine against this Schistosomiasis, it will go a long way to prevent the community against the disease.
