Association between laboratory test results and Schistosoma haematobium infection

		n	Confirmed UGS n (%)	p-value
Leukocyturia n = 532	Positive	19	5 (26.3)	< 0.001
	Negative	513	22 (4.3)
Microhaematuria n = 532	High	1	0 (0)	< 0.001
	Moderate	5	4 (80)
	Mild	4	2 (50)
	Negative	522	21 (4)
Eosinophilia n = 530	Positive	104	15 (14.4)	< 0.001
	Negative	426	12 (2.8)
Elevated IgE levels n = 516	Positive	122	17 (13.9)	< 0.001
	Negative	394	9 (2.3)

Leukocyturia was determined as > 30 cells/µl, microhaematuria was classified as mild (30–100 cells/µl), moderate (100–500 cells/µl) and severe (> 500 cells/µl); eosinophilia was defined as > 7% eosinophils, and elevated IgE levels were defined as total serum IgE levels > 500 IU/ml.
