- W2181396242 abstract "Urinary schistosomiasis in most cases is complicated with bacterial infections because the so called normal flora of the genito- urinary tract has a better chance of entering and invading the underlying internal tissues as a result of the constant tear and scar of the epithelium by the spiny schistosomal eggs. The study was carried ou ton seasonal variations in the occurrences of Schistosoma haematobium and bacterial urinary infections among school age children in 8 irrigation rural communities of four Local Government Areas of Kano State from March 2012 to February 2013, in order to determine the incidence of S. haematobium and its co-infection with bacterial pathogens among the pupils. Ethical clearance was sought from the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB). Midstream urine samples were collected in sterile universal containers and transported to the laboratory in cold box for the laboratory procession. Urine sedimentation was carried out using centrifugation method, followed by microscopic examination the of S. haematobium. Urinalysis was carried out on each sample particularly to detect the presence of important makers of urinary schistosomiasis and urinary tract infections. Sample culture was carried out on Blood Agar and cystein lactose electrolyte deficiency (CLED) medium; Gram staining and biochemical analyses were carried out for characterization of the Bacterial pathogens. A total of 960 pupils were examined (480 in each of the dry and rainy seasons respectively), of which 306 (31.88%) were males and 112 (11.66%) were females; 165 (34.73%) male pupils and 57 (11.88%) females were found to be infected with S. haematobium during the dry season whereas 141 (14.69%) males and 55 (5.73%) females were found to be infected during the rainy season. The highest prevalence of 115 (23.96%) was found among the 11-13years age group in dry season while the lowest prevalence of 12 (2.50%) was found among the 14-16years age group the dry seasons. In rainy season, the 11- 13 years age group had the highest prevalence (107) (22.29%) and 14-16years age group had the lowest prevalence (17) (3.54%).With regard to urinary tract pathogens, (8) (0.83%) female pupils and 4 (0.42%) male pupils were found to be infected during dry season while in rainy season, 70 (7.29%) females and 42 (4.38%) male pupils were infected. Considering co-infection, the rainy season had highest prevalence (4.38%) while dry season was found to have least prevalence (0.2%); the overall co-occurrence being 8.13%.The study shows no significant relationship between S. haematobium and urinary tract pathogens and seasonal variation has no profound effect on the occurrence of S. haematobium but plays an important role in urinary tract infections." @default.
