Cytological and Wet Mount Microscopic Observations Made in Urine of <i>Schistosoma haematobium</i>-Infected Children: Hint of the Implication in Bladder Cancer

<div>Papanicolaou-stained smears showing cytological observations. (a) Anucleated keratinized cell (arrow—hyperkeratotic cell). (b) Inflammatory cells (red arrows point to neutrophils while black arrow points to eosinophils). (c) Keratinized cell (nucleated). (d) Cluster of keratinized and nonkeratinized cells (arrow pointing to keratinized cells). (e) Reactive urothelial/transitional cells. (f) Squamous metaplastic cells (arrow pointing to one of such cells) (source of images: authors’ laboratory work).</div>
