Among 300 patients in The danhaza microhilogical urines tests that have been performed from patients, the study showed a frequency of 57.77% for Trichomonas vaginalis and 42.22% for Schistosoma haematobium bacteria. Regarding sex and parasitic infections, the study found a prevalence of 52.63% for and S. haematobium in males and 47.36% in females. While T. vaginalis showed a 100% prevalence in the females (P.>0.05). this could be because of geographical specificity promoting schistosomiasis injections, the prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium and Trichomonas vaginalis remain high in such setting. It was recommended based from the study that 28% and 5% prevalence rates of asymptomatic bacteriuria and parasitic UTP respectively observed in this present study underscores the importance of ro UTPne and regular mass screening for asymptomatic UTP be carried out since untreated cases may lead to pyelonephritis, renal scaring and even kidney failure.
