| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: Intestinal schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by blood flukes. People become infected when cercaria penetrate through the skin during contact with infected water by contact with infected water. S. mansoni is the leading cause of this disease at central and sub-Saharan Africa with estimated 40 million pregnant women are infected with intestinal schistosomiasis.<br/><br/>Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of intestinal schistosomiasis among pregnant women who attended antenatal clinic at Ilemela district. <br/><br/>Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women who attend antenatal clinic at Ilemela district hospitals between April to August 2024. Stool sample was collected then transported to laboratory in which formyl-ether sedimentation method was used to detect the presence of Schistosoma mansoni eggs. Sociodemographic data were collected by using questionnaire. Results obtained were recorded then later on analyzed by STATA version 15.0. <br/><br/>Results: This study enrolled 310 pregnant women in which were from two hospital settings 169/310(54.52%) were at Buzuruga hospital and 141/310(45.48%) were from Igombe hospital. The overall prevalence was 18/310(5.8%) in which all the positive cases were all from Igombe area, these results were directly associated with source of waters used and residential areas as one of their factors with a p-value of less than 0.05<br/><br/><br/>Conclusion: In this this study we found more infected women were the ones who are daily exposed to the infected waters such as lake waters and swamps during their activities. This study also showed that areas near lake shore especial Igombe area was more affected by the disease compared to areas such as Buzuruga. <br/><br/>Recommendations: The affected participants should be given knowledge on how to prevent further transmission including proper ways of using toilets to avoid contaminations and later after delivery they should start medications immediately. Public health interventions focused on prevention of the affected areas should be done, further more targeted education campaign should be implemented to raise awareness about the disease.<br/><br/> |
