过去十年来，发展中国家学童的健康受到越来越多的关注。学童的死亡率通常低于任何其他年龄组。然而，学龄儿童中存在相当多的与疾病相关的发病率，其中大部分归因于寄生虫感染（Savioli等人，1992年；Chan等人，1994年；Bundy和Guyatt，1996年）。这种发病率可能对健康增长和教育收益产生直接和长期的影响（Warren 等人，1993 年；世界银行，1993 年）。人们越来越认识到学校促进健康的重要性，发展中国家已经实施了一些学校健康计划。此类计划被认为是改善在校学生健康状况的一种非常经济有效的方法（世界银行，1993 年），其主要目的是控制血吸虫和肠道蠕虫等寄生虫（Savioli 等人，1992 年；Bundy 和 Guyatt，1996 年；Anon. 1997a b；Magnussen 等人，1997 年 2001a b）。本研究是关于尿路血吸虫病的学校控制。 （作者）
The health of schoolchildren in developing countries has received increasing attention over the last decade. Mortality among schoolchildren is generally lower than in any other age-group. There is however considerable disease-related morbidity among school-age children much of it attributable to parasitic infections (Savioli et al. 1992; Chan et al. 1994; Bundy and Guyatt 1996). This morbidity may have both immediate and long-term consequences on health growth and the benefit gained from education (Warren et al. 1993; World Bank 1993). The importance of schools promoting health is increasingly being recognized and several school-health programmes have been implemented in developing countries. Such programmes which are considered a very cost-effective way of improving the health status of those attending schools (World Bank 1993) have mainly been directed at controlling parasites such as schistosomes and intestinal helminths (Savioli et al. 1992; Bundy and Guyatt 1996; Anon. 1997a b; Magnussen et al. 1997 2001a b). The present study was on the school-based control of urinary schistosomiasis. (authors)
