A total of 1550 urine samples were subjected to direct examination. Fresh urine samples from all infected individuals were then used for egg counts by nuclepore filtration method. The intensity of infection was determined as light and heavy, while the hematuria was classified as macrohematura and microhematura. The prevalence of infection among school children was 1.7% in comparison with 7.3% among households, while the overall infection was 2.1%. Infection among males was 2.9% in comparison with 1% among females. The highest infection (18.8%) was among 15-17 years old. Light intensity of infection was shown in 84.85% of the infected individuals in comparison with 15.15% for heavy infections. The macroscopic hematuria was noted in 15.15% of the positive samples in comparison with no cases of the 1517 negative samples.
