Objective:To determine the prevalence and intensity of infection and the risk factors associated with urinary schistosomiasis in pre—school and school aged children in Cuma Local Government Area of Benue State,***:Urine filtration technique using polycarbonate membrane filters was employed to process urine specimens and to determine presence of Schistosoma haematobium eggs in *** were also administered to children to collect information on socio-demographic data and water-contact ***:An overall prevalence of 55.0%(165/300)was recorded out of the 300 urine samples *** of infection varied between 36.0%-64.0%with a significant difference(X^2=11.59,P=0.041)between the different communities *** were more infected(60.6%,103/170)than females(47.7%,62/130)with a significant difference(X^2=4.95,P=0.026).The age-related prevalence showed higher prevalence(70.5%,36/52)in the 11-15 year old children than that in the 1-5 year old ones(44.9%,53/118).A significant difference was observed in the prevalence between the age groups(X^2=10.56,P=0.014).The prevalence of light intensity of infection(1-49 eggs/10 mL of urine)(86.6%)was significantly higher than that of heavy intensity of infection(5=50 eggs/10 mL of urine)(13.3%)in the area(t=16.48,P=0.000).Water contact activities of the children revealed that children that were involved in irrigation and those that went swimming in water bodies were observed to be at higher risk of becoming infected with urinary schistosomiasis in the area with odd ratios(risk factors)of 2.756(1.334-5.693)and 2.366(1.131-4.948)respectively at P<0.05 ***:The study revealed the hyperendemicily of urinary schistosomiasis in the preschool and school aged children in Guma Local Government *** is therefore recommended that praziquantel should be administered to children in the area and systematic epidemiological studies should be undertaken in the whole Local Government Ar

Objective:To evaluate the prevalence of Sabmonella typhi(***) among subjects attending College of Education Health Clinic,Akwanga,Nasarawa state from the year.2005 to 2007 and to recommend some preventive measures to the ***:Blood samples were tested for infection using the widal ***:Out of the 793 patients examined,579(73.0%) were positive with 174(30.05%),254(43.86%) and 151(26.07%) for the years 2005,2006 and 2007 respectively. The age range with the highest prevalence of infection for the period was 21-30 with 207(35.75%) followed by 31-40 year group with 133(22.97%).Chi-square analysis showed no significant difference in infection between males and females(P>0.05).Conclusions:The results of this study provide a useful guide in the formulation of *** control measures in tertiary institutions in the State and also help to check the spread of the pathogen in the general population.

Objective:To assess if microhaematuria and proleinuria as measured by reagent strips could estimate intensity of Schistosoma haematobium(***) infection in endemic areas and evaluate their screening performance among children in Benue State,***:A lolal of 1124 urine samples were collected,screened for microhaematuria and proteinuria using reagent strips(Combi 9) and results were compared to filtration technique,the gold standard ***:A significant correlation was ohserved between microhaematuria(rho= 0.66. P<0.01).proteinuria(rho = 0.71.P<0.01) and intensity *** *** had sensitivity of 95.7%and specificity of 67.2%.while microhaematuria had sensitivity of 64.8%and specificity of 89.6%.The proportion of false positive diagnoses was higher in proleinuria(19.2%) than microliaematuria(6.0%).Conclusios:The findings suggest that use of urine reagent strips could potentially estimate intensity *** infection and their performance to screen urinary schistosomiasis agreed with previous observations.

Objective:To assess women’s perceptions and risk factors that could expose them to intestinal parasitic infections in Makurdi,Benue ***:A total of 750 faecal samples were collected from women at different reproductive stages(*** and post-menstrual), and the faeces were tested by the formol ether concentration ***:A total of 426(56.8%) samples were found positive for various intestinal parasites with hookworm (4.8%),Ascaris lumbricoides(9.3%),Taenia sp(2.1%),Entamoeba histolytica(18.9%) and Entamoeba coli(21.6%).Women at pre-menstrual and post-menstrual stages recorded higher prevalence rates with 72.8%and 63.9%,*** significant difference in prevalence was observed between women at different reproductive stages and women infected by different parasites(χ~2=30.6.P> 0.05).Sweet things,rotten fruits and improperly cooked meat were perceived as the causes of intestinal parasitic infections among the pre and post menstrual *** of drinking water like river,well,water bought from vendors and patronizing food vendors were observed as risk factors contributing to the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among *** like not washing hands before eating and after defaecation,use of leaves and ordinary papers for cleaning after defaecation were also observed to be contributing to the prevalence of intestinal parasitic ***:Persuasive health education and rigorous hygiene measures should be employed in schools,maternity clinics and among the populace to reduce transmission and infection with intestinal parasites.
