Abstract
Background: Schistosomiasis is one of the world's most prevalent parasitic infections, with at least 200 million people infected and about 700 million at risk in Africa, Asia, and South America. Although five species of waterborne trematodes in the genus Schistosoma are capable of causing human infection, the most important are S. haematobium & Schistosoma mansoni and the majority of cases occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: A_comparative study aimed to compare between indirect-hemagglutination assay and Golden Stander Method which used for diagnosis of Schistosoma haematobium. Total of 73.0 samples were collected from people located in two villages in the areas of Sudan endemic with Schistosoma haematobium. The samples were analyzed by the centrifuged parasitological examination and indirecthemagglutination assay (IHA). Result: Statistical analysis of the results showed that the sensitivity value of the IHA test was 95.8% and specificity was 4.1%. Conclusion: A search for a good diagnostic test that can be applied in field situations in Sudan should be given high priority.
