  • Title: [Modern therapy of intestinal helminthiasis (author's transl)].
    Author: Lang W.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1979 Dec 14; 121(50):1693-6. PubMed ID: 120505.
    Abstract:
    The modern chemotherapy of intestinal worm diseases is essentially based on niclosamide, thiabendazole and mebendazole. Thus an effective therapy with few side effects has become possible for these helminthiases. In infections with Taenia, Ascaris, Trichuris, Ankylostoma, Strongyloides, Trichostrongylus and Oxyuris, as the most frequently imported helminths, an elimination rate of over 90% of the parasites can be attained. Infections with nematode larvae as with Larva migrans and trichinoses are more problematic therapeutically because the anthelmintics are directed principally against the adult worms.
