The study group consisted of 141 school children (83 males, 58 females) aged 8\u201319\u2003years. A total of 129 of 141 (91.5%) submitted stool samples, and 7.8% had <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic>, 55% had hookworms and 6.2% had tapeworms. The presence of <jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic> and intestinal parasites did not appear to influence the results of the MoAb\u2010dipstick assay. The urinary schistosomiasis prevalence by MoAb\u2010dipstick (78%) was higher (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.05) than the estimate by microscopy (60.3%), microhaematuria (27%) and proteinuria (30.5%). The MoAb\u2010dipstick correctly identified 98.8% of microscopically confirmed cases and missed one (1.3%). The dipstick was also positive for 26 of 56 (46.4%) egg\u2010negative individuals, thereby giving a sensitivity of 98.8% and a specificity of 53.6%. On the other hand, microhaematuria and proteinuria were 38.8% and 30.6% sensitive, and 91.1% and 69.6% specific, respectively. Microhaematuria and proteinuria were less sensitive (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.05) than both microscopy and MoAb\u2010dipstick.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2004.01289.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,13]],"date-time":"2004-10-13T13:18:32Z","timestamp":1097673512000},"page":"991-996","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Applicability of a monoclonal antibody\u2010based dipstick in diagnosis of urinary schistosomiasis in the Central Region of Ghana"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kwabena M.","family":"Bosompem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osei","family":"Owusu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.
