This study evaluated its sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values in the diagnosis of maternal UGS using filtration method as a reference test. We also assessed the variation in its performance in the diagnosis of UGS using multiple-sample collection. A total of 93 pregnant women reporting for first ANC clinic visit at any of the three functional health care centres (Munyenge Integrated Health Centre, Banga Annex Health Centre, and Trans African Health Centre) were enrolled and followed up for three consecutive monthly visits. Urine samples were observed microscopically for <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>haematobium<\/jats:italic> egg using urine filtration and screened for microhaematuria and proteinuria using urine reagent strips. Twenty-two (23.7%) out of the 93 women were diagnosed for UGS, all of whom showed <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>haematobium<\/jats:italic> egg excretion during all three visits. There was a significant difference (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&lt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.001<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>) between the prevalence of <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>haematobium<\/jats:italic> infection and the prevalence of microhaematuria. The intensity of infection was significantly higher in microhaematuria-positive women compared with microhaematuria-negative cases. Sensitivity of reagent strip ranged from 54.5 to 59.1%, while specificity was above 98.0% (range: 98.6\u2013100%). The measure of agreement between urine filtration and reagent strip method was substantial (0.61\u20130.8) irrespective of different sampling periods. Urine reagent strip is a moderately sensitive method in the detection of UGS and will most likely identify women with high egg load burden. Proper diagnosis of schistosomiasis during pregnancy is recommended.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2019\/2972630","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,6]],"date-time":"2019-12-06T18:31:41Z","timestamp":1575657101000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluation of Urine Reagent Strip as a Tool for Routine Diagnosis of Maternal Urogenital Schistosomiasis at Antenatal Clinic Visit in Munyenge, South West Region, Cameroon"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2019","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8335-6624","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Godlove Bunda","family":"Wepnje","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology and Animal Physiology, Faculty of Science, University of Buea, P.O.
