| Zusammenfassung: | Objective:To assess if microhaematuria and proteinuria as measured by reagent strips could estimate intensity ofSchistosoma haematobium (S. haematobium) infection in endemic areas and evaluate their screening performance among children in Benue State, Nigeria.Methods: A total of1 124urine samples were collected, screened for microhaematuria and proteinuria using reagent strips (Combi9) and results were compared to filtration technique, the gold standard method.Results: A significant correlation was observed between microhaematuria (rho=0.66, P |
