Differences attributable to age and sex were also reflected in a similar pattern, all peaks occurring in the 5\u201314 year age group. The differences observed with varying levels of intensity and haematuria at both 10 and 50 erythrocytes\/\u03bcl (p&lt;0\u00b7001) and proteinuria at 0\u00b73 g\/dl (p&lt;0\u00b701) were statistically significant. At a proteinuria level of 1 g\/dl, the observed differences were however not statistically significant (p&gt;0\u00b75). The percentage of specimens from children (1\u201314 years) positive for <jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic> eggs and with at least traces of haematuria and proteinuria (63\u00b74% and 95%, respectively) was higher than in adults (33\u00b73% and 80\u00b72%, respectively). All individuals with more than 50 eggs\/10 ml of urine were correctly identified using both indices either separately or in combination. For egg counts of less than 50 egg\/10 ml of urine, false diagnosis occurred in only 5% of all specimens examined. The sensitivity and specificity of haematuria and proteinuria at trace quantities was very high, hut haematuria had a higher predictive value for a positive test (P<jats:sub>v<\/jats:sub>P<jats:sup>t<\/jats:sup>) and was considered the overall better indicator. A combination of both indices did not significantly increase the P<jats:sub>v<\/jats:sub>P<jats:sup>t<\/jats:sup>. When trace haematuria and moderate proteinuria were combined, both the sensitivity, specificity and PvP<jats:sup>t<\/jats:sup> were all above 90%, giving the best overall values in all the combinations made.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x00014528","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T15:12:39Z","timestamp":1244214759000},"page":"177-185","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The diagnostic value of haematuria and proteinuria in <i>Schistosoma haematobium<\/i> infection in southern Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"O.
