Abstract

Schistosomiasis is an acute and chronic parasitosis caused by worms (trematodes) of the genus Schistosoma. Infection in humans occurs when parasite larvae, released by freshwater gastropods, enter the skin through contact with infested water. Schistosomiasis is most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in poorer communities with no access to drinking water or adequate sanitation. Lack of hygiene and contact with contaminated water make children particularly vulnerable to infection. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Shistosoma haemotobuim infestation in children aged 0-4 to 15 years in the locality of Matta-barrage. Microscopy using the sedimentation technique was used to identify Shistosoma haematobuim eggs in collected urine samples. Observation with a binocular magnifying glass was used to assess the cercarial emission rate. Of 155 urine samples analyzed, 69 were positive, representing a prevalence of 44.52%. The rate of Shistosoma haemotobuim cercariae was 21.03%. The prevalence of urogenital schistosomiasis is very high in this locality of Matta Barrage, as is the rate of cercarial transmission. A deworming campaign with Praziquantel is more than necessary.
<i>血友病</i>喀麦隆Matta拦河坝地区4至15岁儿童的感染情况
血吸虫病是由血吸虫属蠕虫(吸虫)引起的急性和慢性寄生虫病。当淡水腹足类动物释放的寄生虫幼虫通过接触受感染的水进入皮肤时,就会发生人类感染。血吸虫病在热带和亚热带地区最为流行,特别是在无法获得饮用水或适当卫生设施的较贫穷社区。缺乏卫生和接触受污染的水使儿童特别容易受到感染。本研究的目的是确定在Matta-barrage地区0-4至15岁儿童中血球血吸虫感染的流行情况。使用显微镜沉淀法鉴定收集的尿液样本中的血球血吸虫卵。用双筒放大镜观察宫颈排出率。155份尿样中阳性69份,阳性率为44.52%。血吸虫血球尾蚴检出率为21.03%。在Matta Barrage这个地区,泌尿生殖血吸虫病的患病率非常高,宫颈传播率也很高。吡喹酮的驱虫运动是非常必要的。
