ABSTRACT
The association between urinary schistosomiasis and anaemia among infected children remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of schistosoma haematobium infection and treatment with praziquantel on hemoglobin levels among male children aged 6-15 years in Bertoua. Urine examination of 2665 children revealed an infection rate of 23.9 per cent. Children with moderate infection were randomly selected into treatment (238) and placebo (198) groups. Among uninfected children; 174 were randomly selected to serve as controls. Malaria; geohelminth infections and hemoglobin levels were determined before and six months after praziquantel/placebo intervention
