Table 2. Effect of treatment A and B on the intensity of Schistosoma haematobium-infected children compared with treatment C at 2 weeks after praziquantel treatment.

Treatment groups	Baseline, mean (SE)	Post-treatment, mean (SE)	MD	95% CI	P value
C	17.25 (26.15)a	5.07 (6.18)a	Reference
A	34.30 (43.58)	10.64 (15.04)	5.56	−1.02, –12.13	0.10
B	34.72 (49.99)	6.60 (5.21)	1.52	−2.68, –5.73	0.48

SE = standard error, MD = mean difference, CI = confidence interval.
