    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To understand the status of persons of export of labor services infected with Schistosoma haematobium. METHODS: A total of 184 suspected hospitalized patients infected with S. haematobium were investigated retrospectively. RESULTS: Among the patients, 111 used to work in Angola (60.3%) and 57 in Mozambique (31.0%). Pathogenic examinations were done in 13 cases, and S. haematobium eggs were found in 6 subjects. Totally 96.7% of patients showed antibody positive by the tests of IHA and ELISA. A total of 112 subjects (60.9%) had urinary tract symptoms, and 52 had fatigue. However, 72 subjects (39.1%) did not have any signs and symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: There are some persons of export of labor services who are infected with S. haematobium. Therefore, we suggest that the authority should establish a program for prevention and treatment of schistosomiasis haematobia and schistosomiasis mansoni in persons of export of labor services.
