چکیده مقاله:
Urinary Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical snail-borne diseases of humans in Zambia. It's endemic in most communities, where water bodies and poor sanitation are prominent. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and identify risk factors associated with Schistosomiasis propagation among pupils. A total of ۳۲۱ urine samples and questionnaires were collected. The results showed that ۱۰.۶% (۳۴/۳۲۱) were infected including ۳.۷% of girls and ۶.۹% of boys. The results also indicated that ۶۴.۷% had ۳۰mg/dL, ۱۷.۶% had ۱۰۰mg/dL and ۸.۸% had ۵۰۰mg/dL proteinuria while ۱۸% showed ۱۰۰mg/dL, ۳۴% showed ۳۰۰mg/dL and ۱۲% showed ۱۰۰۰mg/dL haematuria. Of the ۳۴ infected, ۲۳.۵% (۸/۳۴) were herdsmen, ۲۶.۶% (۹/۳۴) were swimming, and fishing, ۱۷.۶% (۶/۳۴) were washing plates and clothes, while ۱۷.۶% (۶/۳۴) were gardening. The boys were more at risk than girls (RR=۱.۶). Our results showed that not only proximity to the river could be a risk, but also water activities were the principal risks for contraction of Schistosomiasis. Our findings suggest that positive pupils were in contact with infective cercariae through various water activities. Therefore, there is a need to enhance educational campaigns on threats and prevention measures to reduce further infection.
