Item Co-infection of schistosomiasis, malaria, HBV and HIV among adults living in Eggua Community, Ogun State, Nigeria(Nigerian Journal of Parasitology, 2020-03) Olayinka, P.,; Ajide, P.,; Awobode, H. O.,; Osundiran, A. J.,; Onile, O. S.; Adebayo, A. S.,; Isokpehi, R.; Anumuu, C. I.Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by the blood fluke that continues to plague many developing countries in the tropics. The goal of this study was to determine the occurrence of schistosomiasis, malaria, HBV and HIV co-infection among adults in some villages of Eggua Community, Nigeria (Tata, Imoto, Orile and Ebute Igbooro). In cross-sectional surveys, 240 participants were recruited from Orile and Ebute Igbooro and 207 from Tata and Imoto. Urine samples were collected and tested for urinary schistosomiasis by conventional microscopy; blood samples were tested for HBV, HIV and malaria using standard RDTs and microscopy respectively. Prevalence and co-infection of the diseases was analyzed by chi-squared (x2) test. The prevalence of schistosomiasis and malaria was 21.3% and 11.1% in Tata and Imoto respectively; and 14.5% and 19.1% in Orile and Ebute Igbooro, respectively. The overall prevalence of co-infection of urinary schistosomiasis with malaria was 2.5% and 0.4% each with HIV and HBV in the study areas. Schistosoma haematobium and Plasmodium falciparum are prevalent in the study-area, and an integrated control approach directed against the two parasites should be carried out.Item Detection of Urinary Tract Pathology in Some Schistosoma haematobium Infected Nigerian Adults(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016-07) Onile, O. S.; Awobode, H. O.; Oladele, V. S.; Agunloye, A. M.; Anumudu, C. I.Screening for Schistosoma haematobium infection and its possible morbidity was carried out in 257 adult participants in Eggua community,Ogun State,Nigeria. Parasitological assessment for the presence of ova of S. haematobiumin urine and abdominopelvic ultrasonographic examination for bladder and secondary kidney pathology were carried out. S. haematobiumprevalence of 25.68% (66/257) was recorded among the participants. There was a significantly higher prevalence of 69.2% of urinary schistosomiasis in the females than the prevalence of 31.8% inmales (𝑃 = 0.902). The intensity of infections was mostly light (55) (21.8%) compared to heavy (10) (3.9%) with themean intensity of 16.7 eggs/10mL urine. Structural bladder pathology prevalence among participants was 33.9%. The bladder and kidney pathologies observed by ultrasound in subjects with S. haematobium infections included abnormal bladder wall thickness (59%), abnormal bladder shape (15.2%), bladder wall irregularities (15.2%), bladder masses (1.5%), bladder calcification (1.5%), and hydronephrosis (3%). Infection with S. haematobium was associated with bladder pathology. Higher frequencies of bladder abnormalities were observed more in the participants with light intensity of S. haematobium infection than in those with heavy infection. More bladder pathology was also seen in women than in men, although this was not statistically significant. In conclusion, there is evidence that the development of bladder pathology may be associated with S. haematobium infection.
