For many years, Yemen has suffered of
urinary schistosomiasis which consider one of the
neglected tropical disease. So this study was occupied to
determine the incidence of urinary schistosomiasis
between patients who attended AL- Kuwait hospital
during the war in Sana’a city with the risk factor.
Totally 100 specimens suspected with urinary
schistosomiasis was collected from patients who attended
AL- Kuwait hospital from February 2019 to March
2020. The questionnaire was done to know some
information like Regine, age, sex, and some risk factor
like immigration and job. All specimens were examined
by filtration technique to identify Schistosoma
haematobium. Of 100 samples investigated, there were 40
/100 (40%) Schistosoma haematobium which were among
male. Urinary schistosomiasis had the highest prevalence
within range age (15-25) years (70%) in Amran 18 /40
(45%) then Hajjah 13 /40 (32.5%). In additional, urinary
schistosomiasis had the highest prevalence with
volunteering 23 /40 (57.5%) and immigration 18 /40 (4
5%) as a risk factor. In Yemen, recently the prevalence
urinary schistosomiasis are higher due to the ware which
has made people without a house, service and salary.
