背景资料：血吸虫病和土壤传播的蠕虫病在发展中国家造成相当高的发病率和死亡率，特别是在儿童中。为此，横断面调查，以确定血吸虫病和土壤传播的蠕虫病合并感染的模式进行了小学生在Oduma社区埃努古州，尼日利亚。结果：在236名小学生中，137名（58.1%）至少有一种蠕虫感染。土源性蠕虫以蛔虫最多，占40.3%，其次为鞭虫（15.3%）和钩虫（8.9%）。血吸虫感染率为13.6%，曼氏血吸虫感染率为7.2%。4-7岁年龄组的患病率最高。haematobium、埃及伊蚊A. lumbricoides，T.鞭虫和钩虫感染。多重感染也有记录，22.9%有双重感染，2.5%有三重感染。最常见的双重感染是A.蛔虫与T.鞭毛虫（8.9%），而最常见的三重感染是A. lumbricoides、S.结论：本研究的结果显示，在社区中，以学校为基础的针对STH感染和血吸虫病的化疗方案需要系统和持续的管理，而不是一次性的方法。(C)2018年澳大利亚感染预防和控制学院。Elsevier B.

Background: Schistosomiasis and Soil-transmitted helminthiasis cause considerable morbidity and mortality in developing countries, especially among children. To this end it, a cross-sectional survey to determine the pattern of Schistosomiasis and Soil-transmitted helminthiasis co-infection was undertaken among primary school pupils in Oduma Community in Enugu State, Nigeria.Methods: Fresh urine and stool samples were collected from pupils. The urine and stool samples were examined using sedimentation and Kat-Katz techniques respectively.Results: Of the 236 pupils examined, 137 (58.1%) were found positive for at least one helminth infection. Ascaris lumbricoides was the most prevalent soil-transmitted helminth (STH), with a prevalence rate of 40.3%, followed by Trichuris trichiura (15.3%) and hookworm (8.9%). Infection with Schistosoma haematobium was detected in 13.6% of the pupils while Schistosoma mansoni infection prevalence was 7.2%. Age group 4-7 years recorded the highest prevalence for S. haematobium, A. lumbricoides, T. Trichiura and hookworm infections. Multiple infections were also recorded, with 22.9% having double infections and 2.5% having triple infections. The most common double infection was A. lumbricoides with T. trichiura (8.9%), while the most common triple infection was A. lumbricoides, S. haematobium and hookworm (1.7%).Conclusion: The results from the present study revealed an evident need for the systematic and sustained administration of school-based chemotherapy program targeting the control of STH infection and Schistosomiasis using Albendazole and Praziquantel respectively in the community, instead of a one-off approach that was carried out.
