Abstract
Bacterial infections are often recurrent and important complications of the
inactive stage of urinary schistosomasis The research was carried out to
determine the frequency of bacterial urinary tract infection among schistosomasis
school children In this study 120 urine samples were collected from school
pupils in some villages of rural southern Shendi town, their average age between
5-16 years, and examined for the presence of S.haematobium eggs using
centrifugation technique and for bacteriuria by routine bacteriological methods.
A total of 120 school children was included in the study, 84 was suffering of
schistosomasis and 36 uninfected. Out of 84 who had schistosomasis 37 (44.05%)
showed significant bacteriuria, 47 (55.95%) had insignificant bacteriuria (p.value
=0.001). The bacterial isolated including: klebsiella species, Escherichia coli,
E.facailis, Salmonella species, Proteus species, and Pseudomonas species.
Eshericha coli occurred more frequently 17 (45.95%) than the rest of the
bacterial species isolated. The antimicrobial susceptibility test of isolates revealed
varying patterns of susceptibilities by all isolates. This study clearly suggests that
bacteriuria is
