Abstract

Schistosomiasis and anemia, are one of the leading global public health problem among children between age 5 and 14 years in marginalized settings. In this study, we provide prevalence and intensity data for both conditions in three southwestern states of Nigeria, where such are lacking. Epidemiological assessment involving parasitological analysis of urine and blood samples was conducted among 1783 consenting school-aged children in Ondo, Osun, Ekiti States of Nigeria. Participants' age and sex data were obtained using field forms, and statistical analysis was performed in R software with a significance level of 95%. An overall prevalence of 26.8% and 29.5% was recorded for urinary schistosomiasis and anemia, respectively. Prevalence varied by location with (40.3% and 29.8%) in Ondo (34.4% and 37.5%) in Osun and (13.4% and 20.9%) in Ekiti for urinary schistosomiasis and anemia, respectively (p=0.00). Schistosoma infections were found among males (28.7%, p=0.05) and children between the age 9-11 years (30.0%, p=0.01). About 36% of children with anemia was also infected with schistosomiasis. Children who were positive for schistosomiasis (OR:1.51; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.93; p=0.001) and between the age category 15-16 years, (OR:1.86; 95% CI: 1.12, 3.09; p<0.05) were twice likely to become anemic. Our findings have shown that children infected with schistosomiasis are twice likely to become anemic than those without infection. It is important to complement ongoing MDA programmes targeted at schistosomiasis with nutrition intervention programs for example micronutrient supplementation for better impact and cost-effectiveness.

尼日利亚西南部学龄儿童的尿血吸虫病和贫血症。
血吸虫病和贫血是边缘化环境中 5 至 14 岁儿童的主要全球公共卫生问题之一。在这项研究中,我们提供了尼日利亚西南部三个州这两种疾病的流行率和严重程度数据,因为这些州缺乏此类数据。我们对尼日利亚翁多州、奥松州和埃基迪州的 1783 名征得同意的学龄儿童进行了流行病学评估,包括对尿液和血液样本进行寄生虫学分析。参与者的年龄和性别数据通过现场表格获得,统计分析使用 R 软件进行,显著性水平为 95%。根据记录,尿血吸虫病和贫血症的总体患病率分别为 26.8%和 29.5%。不同地区的流行率各不相同,翁多(40.3% 和 29.8%)、奥孙(34.4% 和 37.5%)和埃基迪(13.4% 和 20.9%)的尿血吸虫病和贫血的流行率分别为(P=0.00)。血吸虫感染主要发生在男性(28.7%,p=0.05)和 9-11 岁儿童(30.0%,p=0.01)中。约 36% 的贫血儿童也感染了血吸虫病。血吸虫病阳性儿童(OR:1.51; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.93; p=0.001)和年龄在 15-16 岁之间的儿童(OR:1.86; 95% CI: 1.12, 3.09; p=0.001)。

期刊介绍: Pathogens and Global Health is a journal of infectious disease and public health that focuses on the translation of molecular, immunological, genomics and epidemiological knowledge into control measures for global health threat. The journal publishes original innovative research papers, reviews articles and interviews policy makers and opinion leaders on health subjects of international relevance. It provides a forum for scientific, ethical and political discussion of new innovative solutions for controlling and eradicating infectious diseases, with particular emphasis on those diseases affecting the poorest regions of the world.
