ABSTRACT
This study was carried among schoolchildren aged 5-12 years of both sexes in the period from May 2001 to May 2002. One group [2080 children including 1244 males and 836 females] was selected from a rural area [El-Warrak and El-Monib] and the other group [1863 children including 944 males and 892 females] from an urban area [Roxi]. The incidence was found to be 0.11% in the urban area and 1.15% in the rural area. These figures reflected the urgent need for upgrading the public health services and medical care in the rural area
