| relationships of schistosoma haematobium, hookworm and malarial infections and metrifonate treatment to growth of kenyan school children. | relationships of s. haematobium, hookworm and malarial infections to growth 6 months after metrifonate treatment were studied in kenyan primary school children in an area where poor growth, s. haematobium and hookworm were common and malaria was endemic. all children with light-moderate s. haematobium infections (1-500 eggs/10 ml adj) in 4 schools were examined (exam 1), allocated at random to either placebo (mip, n = 198) or metrifonate treatment (mit, n = 201) groups, treated, and examined aga ... | 1985 | 3938925 |
| effect of praziquantel on hematuria and proteinuria in urinary schistosomiasis. | in five settlements on lake volta, ghana, 230 persons infected with s. haematobium were treated with either 30 or 40 mg/kg of praziquantel. both treatment regimes gave similar overall cure rates (60%) and reduction in geometric mean egg counts (92%) at a six-month follow-up. in this highly endemic area, 32% of the initial urine specimens were visibly bloody and only 4% remained bloody after treatment. geometric mean egg counts of visibly bloody urine specimens were two to six times higher than n ... | 1985 | 3938926 |
| praziquantel for treatment of schistosomiasis in patients with advanced hepatosplenomegaly. | we evaluated praziquantel for therapy of active schistosoma mansoni infection in 15 rural egyptian males with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. criteria for inclusion in this study were two pre-treatment s. mansoni egg counts with a mean of greater than 100 eggs g-1 faeces and an enlarged spleen. fourteen of 15 patients had hepatomegaly, five had ascites, and six had serum albumin below 3 g dl-1. schistosoma haematobium infection (less than 10 eggs ml-1 urine) was present in three patients. praziqu ... | 1985 | 3938936 |
| swamp rice farming: possible effects on endemicity of schistosomiasis mansoni and haematobia in a population in liberia. | to obtain a better understanding of the possible influence of swamp rice farming on the patterns of schistosoma mansoni and schistosoma haematobium infections, the populations of two communities in rural liberia were studied. in one village, balama (population of 435), swamp rice farms were initiated six years before the survey; in the other nearby community, gbarta (population of 216), swamp rice farms had not yet been initiated. the prevalence of s. mansoni infection in balama was 87% vs. 9% i ... | 1985 | 3970302 |
| regression of splenomegaly and hepatomegaly in children treated for schistosoma haematobium infection. | during a study in kenya of the relationships between schistosoma haematobium infection and anemia and growth, evidence was found to suggest that this infection was associated with splenomegaly in children, and that both splenomegaly and hepatomegaly regressed in children treated for urinary schistosomiasis, compared with a placebo group. these results imply that s. haematobium is partially responsible for the splenomegaly and hepatomegaly found in this malarious area, and that treatment for s. h ... | 1985 | 3970303 |

| attempts to induce resistance to schistosoma mansoni and s. haematobium in kenyan baboons (papio anubis) using non-specific immunostimulants. | non-specific immunostimulants were used in an attempt to protect baboons from infection by schistosomes. subcutaneous vaccination with cord factor (4.50 mg) and muramyl dipeptide (4.56 mg) 6 days before percutaneous exposure to 3000 schistosoma haematobium cercariae/baboon (c.p.b.) failed to protect naive baboons: baboons with a 7-month-old, 5000 c.p.b. s. haematobium primary infection had developed too strong a natural immunity to detect any protection attributable to vaccination. subcutaneous ... | 1985 | 3982849 |
| urinary iron loss and physical fitness of kenyan children with urinary schistosomiasis. | daily urinary iron loss and physical fitness were determined in kenyan primary school children who had low-medium (16-177 eggs/10 ml adj) or high (200-1,194 eggs/10 ml adj) s. hematobium egg counts compared with a matched group of control or uninfected children before and after antischistosomal treatment with metrifonate. the 3 groups did not differ significantly before treatment in age, sex ratio, anthropometry or prevalence of other parasite infections. before treatment, mean iron loss in the ... | 1985 | 3985274 |
| schistosoma haematobium in upper egypt: analysis of dispersion patterns. | statistical methods analyzing changes in dispersion patterns of parasites among hosts were applied to schistosoma haematobium egg excretion data from a five-year study of a cohort of 1,400 boys in 3 villages in upper egypt. despite significant changes in mean density of the parasites in the first 4 years, the degree of aggregation of s. haematobium among the cohort did not change markedly in analysis of egg count data obtained semiannually. two other related measures of dispersion, mean crowding ... | 1985 | 3985275 |

| evaluation of cellular immune response during chronic schistosomiasis in humans by the leukocyte aggregation test and the leukocyte migration inhibition test. | cellular immune response was evaluated in 31 patients with chronic schistosoma haematobium and schistosoma mansoni infections and in 15 healthy normal persons by using s. mansoni soluble worm and egg antigens. although the leukocyte migration inhibition test demonstrated false-positive reactions, the specificity of the leukocyte aggregation test was confirmed by the negativity of all of the controls. among the patients, only 10% were positive for the leukocyte aggregation test. this low cellular ... | 1985 | 3988906 |

| schistosomiasis in malawi--a review. | prevalence data for schistosomiasis in malawi, collected in recent years, indicated that the infection, especially schistosoma mansoni is far more widespread than was previously thought. s. haematobium is highly prevalent in the south, while s. mansoni predominates on the central plateau. both infections occur with moderate to high intensity along the lakeshore plain. despite the high prevalence, reports of morbidity due to the infection are fewer than might be expected. | 1985 | 4001764 |

| the importance of age and water contact patterns in relation to schistosoma haematobium infection. | data obtained by dalton & pole in 1978 were analysed in order to assess the relative importance of age and water contact patterns in explaining the variations in level of infection with schistosoma haematobium observed among their study population. it was found that age and sex were the only two significant factors, and that the information about an individual's water contact pattern contained in the data was of no further help in predicting his level of infection. this conclusion is in marked o ... | 1985 | 4002283 |
| relationships of schistosoma hematobium, hookworm and malarial infections and metrifonate treatment to hemoglobin level in kenyan school children. | relationships between hemoglobin level and s. hematobium, hookworm, and malarial infection before and six months after metrifonate treatment were studied in kenyan primary school children in an area where anemia, s. hematobium and hookworm are common (prevalences 61%, 46%, and 95%, respectively) and malaria is holoendemic. the mean hemoglobin level in children from one school, both with and without s. hematobium infection (n = 250), was significantly lower in children with higher s. hematobium e ... | 1985 | 4003667 |

| control of schistosomiasis in the new rahad irrigation scheme of central sudan. | as the new rahad irrigation scheme in central sudan began its first agricultural season in 1978, the blue nile health project was being developed to prevent schistosomiasis and other water-associated diseases in the rahad and gezira-managil schemes. taken as an indication of overall transmission in the rahad scheme, the prevalence of infection among children in the newly established schools was found initially to be 14% for schistosoma mansoni and 1% for schistosoma haematobium in 1980. in the o ... | 1985 | 4032520 |
