Analysis shows high urinary schistosomiasis prevalence in a local population, indicating significant biochemical changes in infected residents.

Of the 600 urine samples, 68% were infected with Schistosoma haematobium, highlighting the disease's prevalence.
Infection intensity varied among 408 infected individuals, with 46.08% excreting less than 50 eggs per 10 ml of urine.
Biochemical parameters like blood, bilirubin, and protein were significantly linked to infection severity in urine samples.
Younger participants aged 1-20 years showed high rates of haematuria, emphasizing the need for targeted health interventions.

Okpete et al. (2025) studied this question.
