Urinary schistosomiasis though a neglected disease is endemic in many rural communities in Nigeria and is second only to malaria. The present study was carried out to determine the current status of urinary schistosomiasis in Ilie, a rural community in Southwestern Nigeria. Urine samples were collected from 320 school pupils (4-15 years old) and examined for ova of Schistosoma haematobium. Out of the 320 urine samples examined, 131 (40.9%) had ova of S. haematobium. The prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis between the male (42.8%) and female (39.0%) participants was not significantly different (p = 0.49) but prevalence increased significantly with increase in age (p = 0.002). The overall geometric mean intensity of infection was 38.2 eggs/10 ml urine. The intensity of infection was not dependent on sex (p = 0.79) or age (p = 0.69). The overall prevalence of haematuria in this study was 26.3%. The prevalence of haematuria was independent on sex (p = 0.72) but varied significantly with age (p = 0.01). Haematuria was significantly associated with urinary schistosomiasis (p < 0.001, OR 37.1, 95% CI 19.4 - 71.0). This study shows that urinary schistosomiasis is quite endemic and still actively transmitted in Ilie and appropriate control measures are highlighted
