ABSTRACT

Ultrasound had been utilized for detection of infections and evaluation of mass chemotherapy programs for Schistosoma mansoni, with few studies concentrating on S. haematobium. The objectives were to determine the frequency of ultrasound findings of complications of Schistosoma haematobium in infected patients in El Kiryab and El Rahad area. 83 urine samples were selected from El Kiryab Agricultural Scheme, Khartoum State, and 80 ones from the El Rahad area, Kordofan State, 20 patients were sporadic cases from Khartoum East of Blue Nile, while 50 samples were taken as a control group. Urine microscopic examination and ultrasound was used to scan for residual effects of Schistosoma haematobium. The frequency of positive microscopic findings of S. haematobium was 63.9% and 62% in El Kiryab and El Rahad areas respectively. The frequency of the urinary bladder changes were wall thinking 85.5%; wall fibrosis in 29%; calcification in 87.4%; Polyps in 72% and ureteric dilatation in 41.7% of the scanned candidates
