Renal related disorders in concomitant Schistosoma haematobium–Plasmodium falciparum infection among children in a rural community of Nigeria

摘要: Schistosomiasis and malaria are two common parasitic diseases that co-endemic in resource-poor communities of sub-Saharan Africa. This study aims to assess the effects single concomitant Plasmodium falciparum Schistosoma haematobium infections on indicators renal injury school children a rural community Nigeria. A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was carried out total 173 schoolchildren between ages 6 18 years (mean age 11.4±2.6 years). Urine blood samples were collected by standard methods for concurrent microscopic diagnosis S. P. infections. Urinary (hematuria) protein determined using urinalysis dipstick. The prevalence 75.1% 78.2% falciparum, respectively. 57.1% individuals infected with parasites. hematuria significantly higher co-infection status (63.8%) than (52.2%) (43.7%) infection statuses (p=0.04), while no significant variation recorded proteinuria three (p=0.53). proportion associated these parasites is very high, particularly young children, who seem have hematuria.
