Here, we report how a radiologist taught a clinician to carry out the ultrasound examination as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) record sheet for\n Schistosoma haematobium<\/jats:italic>\n related lesions. In a population infected with\n S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>\n , the learner and teacher performed two ultrasound exams and the results were compared. One hundred thirty-two children were prospectively included, during 8 ultrasonography sessions split over 23 days. After 51 examinations the learner's sensitivity was above 90%. After the fifth session the specificity reached 100% (results remained stable until the end of the study period). This study shows that a clinician can quickly learn how to carry out a simple ultrasound examination to gather the items needed for the follow-up of\n S. haematobium<\/jats:italic>\n related lesions, suggesting that clinicians could implement networks of ultrasound-based surveillance on the field.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2011.11-0282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,5]],"date-time":"2011-12-05T13:05:03Z","timestamp":1323090303000},"page":"1071-1074","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Learning Curve of Vesico-Urinary Ultrasonography in Schistosoma haematobium Infection with WHO Practical Guide: A \u201cSimple to Learn\u201d Examination"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Philippe","family":"Bonnard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samy","family":"Boutouaba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibrahima","family":"Diakhate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Modou","family":"Seck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Pierre","family":"Dompnier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gilles","family":"Riveau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Ann Trop Med Parasitol","first-page":"775","article-title":"Morbidity induced by Schistosoma haematobium infections, as assessed by ultrasound before and after treatment with praziquantel, in a recently expanded focus (Senegal River basin)","volume":"92","author":"Delegue","year":"1998"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"Ann Trop Med Parasitol","first-page":"581","article-title":"The effect of irrigated agriculture on the transmission of urinary schistosomiasis in the Middle and Upper Valleys of the Senegal River Basin","volume":"94","author":"De Clerck","year":"2000"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"142","article-title":"The effect of different treatment regimens on the epidemiology of seasonally transmitted Schistosoma haematobium infections in four villages in the Senegal River Basin","volume":"93","author":"Shaw","year":"1999"},{"key":"R4","series-title":"Trop Med Int Health","first-page":"544","article-title":"The epidemiology of a recent focus of mixed Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni infections around the \u2018Lac de Guiers\u2019 in the Senegal River Basin, Senegal","volume":"4","author":"De Clercq","year":"1999"},{"key":"R5","series-title":"Ultrasound in Schistosomiasis: A Practical Guide to the Standardized Use of Ultrasonography for the Assessment of Schistosomiasis-Related Morbidity","author":"Richter","year":"1996"},{"key":"R6","series-title":"Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol","first-page":"158","article-title":"Learning curve for Doppler measurement of fetal modified myocardial performance index","volume":"37","author":"Cruz-Martinez","year":"2011"},{"key":"R7","series-title":"J Ultrasound Med","first-page":"1423","article-title":"Learning curve of emergency physicians using emergency bedside sonography for symptomatic first-trimester pregnancy","volume":"29","author":"Jang","year":"2010"},{"key":"R8","series-title":"Acad Emerg Med","first-page":"1024","article-title":"The learning curve of resident physicians using emergency ultrasonography for obstructive uropathy","volume":"17","author":"Jang","year":"2010"}],"container-title":["The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/85\/6\/article-p1071.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/85\/6\/article-p1071.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/85\/6\/article-p1071.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]],"date-time":"2024-08-07T15:34:24Z","timestamp":1723044864000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/85\/6\/article-p1071.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,1]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4269\/ajtmh.2011.11-0282","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9637","1476-1645"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0002-9637","type":"print"},{"value":"1476-1645","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,1]]}}}
