Parasitological assessment for the presence of ova of<jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>in urine and abdominopelvic ultrasonographic examination for bladder and secondary kidney pathology were carried out.<jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>prevalence 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% in males (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">0.902<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>). The intensity of infections was mostly light (55) (21.8%) compared to heavy (10) (3.9%) with the mean intensity of 16.7 eggs\/10\u2009mL urine. Structural bladder pathology prevalence among participants was 33.9%. The bladder and kidney pathologies observed by ultrasound in subjects with<jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>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<jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>was associated with bladder pathology. Higher frequencies of bladder abnormalities were observed more in the participants with light intensity of<jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>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<jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/5405207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,22]],"date-time":"2016-08-22T17:01:33Z","timestamp":1471885293000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Detection of Urinary Tract Pathology in Some<i>Schistosoma haematobium<\/i>Infected Nigerian Adults"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"given":"O.
