Abstract EN
Schistosomiasis is a public health problem in Egypt.
To detect the prevalence of schistosomiasis in Qena Governorate, 1601 urine and stool samples of patients attending Qena General Hospital were examined of whom 1601 patients had urinary symptoms and 893 patients had dysentery and bloody stool.
Sheets were filled out on each patient.
Also, a total of 7590 Bulinus truncatus and Biomphalaria alexandrina snails were collected from water bodies in Qena Governorate.
The overall prevalence of S.
haematobium was 13.9%; with maximum among 6-18 year-old age group and higher in males than in females.
Risk factors for S.
haematobium infection were this age group; particularly males.
However, males swim and play in water bodies and women wash cloths and utensils there, and children swimming or playing in canals.
The S.
haematobium peak of infection was in winter correlated with the highest prevalence in Dandara City, Qena City, Awlad- Amr and El Hijarat.
S.
mansoni were negative in the examined individuals.
The infective rate among snails was 1.82% in B.
truncatus and 0.0% among B.
alexandrina and M.
tuberculata.-
