背景：血吸虫病仍然是全球和国家层面的一个主要健康问题，加剧了苏丹穷人的脆弱性。南科尔多凡州受血吸虫病影响，但疾病患病率未知。招募受试者提交至少10毫升尿液和一份粪便样本；他们还接受了采访并填写了一份调查问卷。结果：一项基于社区的调查招募了 1826 名成年人。每个招募的受试者至少提交10毫升尿液和一份粪便样本；他们还接受了采访并填写了一份调查问卷。成人中埃及沙门氏菌的患病率为 6.9%。我们估计曼氏沙门氏菌患病率为 0.0%。埃及沙门氏菌感染集中分布在村一级。该感染与不使用厕所有关——如果有的话，使用开放水源进行家庭事务（例如清洁），也与血吸虫病治疗史有关。据报道，土壤传播的蠕虫 (STH) 患病率也高达 7.8%，并已确定了两种蠕虫；结论：血吸虫病是南科尔多凡州成年人口的一个重大健康问题。估计患病率将作为制定血吸虫病控制计划和应用治疗计划的指南。
Background: Schistosomiasis remains a major health problem at global and national levels, contributing to the vulnerability of the poor people in Sudan. Southern Kordofan is affected by Schistosomiasis but the disease prevalence was unknown.ecruited subject submitted at least 10 ml urine and one stool sample; they were also interviewed and filled in a questionnaire.Results: 1826 adults were recruited in a community-based survey. Each recruited subject submitted at least 10 ml urine and one stool sample; they were also interviewed and filled in a questionnaire. The prevalence of S. haematobium was 6.9 % among the adult population. We estimated S. mansoni prevalence as 0.0 %. S. haematobium infection was focally distributed at the village level. The infection was associated with non preference of latrine use - if available, use of open water source for household affairs such as cleaning and also with the history of schistosomiasis treatment. The prevalence of soil transmitted helminths (STH) was also reported as high at 7.8 %, and two species were identified; Hymenolepis nana and Giardia lamblia.Conclusion: Schistosomiasis is a significant health problem among the adult population in Southern Kordofan. The estimated prevalence will serve as a guide in developing a Schistosomiasis Control Program and applying treatment plans.
