  • Title: Treatment of human fascioliasis with niclofolan.
    Author: Eckhardt T, Heckers H.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1981 Oct; 81(4):795-8. PubMed ID: 7262525.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of human Fasciola hepatica infection. For the first time evidence is presented of successful treatment of fascioliasis by oral administration of niclofolan, a biphenyl anthelmintic compound that is available for clinical testing in West Germany. Niclofolan therapy achieved elimination of eggs from the feces and normalization of eosinophil counts, liver enzymes and Fasciola titers, suggesting eradication of biliary flukes in our patient.
