Abstract

Urinary schistosomiasis (blood in urine) among school children was investigated in Eko-Ende, Oore and Oba-Ile, Osun State, Nigeria. The research determined the intensity of urinary schistosomiasis among school children. Mid-day urine samples were collected from the children and examined for Schistosoma haematobium eggs. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test for differences in the intensity of the infection. The overall arithmetic mean intensity of infection was 93.3+ 206.2 eggs / 10ml urine. This study concluded that there was high intensity of urinary schistosomiasis in the study area hence there is need for urgent intervention.
