Declarations

: The authors declare no competing interests.
: Mattu University’s College of Health Sciences Institutional Review Board granted the study approval and ethical clearance with a Ref. No: CHS/157/23. The study protocol was conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki. Study participants and school teachers were provided with overviews of the study. Then, for children below 16 years old, informed consent was taken from their legal guardian before assent was taken directly from the child. On the other hand informed consent was taken directly from all children above 16 years regarding sociodemographic and clinical data collection. The positive cases are then linked to the nearest health facilities for appropriate drug administration and better treatment.
