    Author: Nagaty HF, Mohajeri M, Elahi R.
    Journal: J Trop Med Hyg; 1978 Oct; 81(10):195-7. PubMed ID: 731761.
    Abstract:
    This paper identifies the parasitic infections and their incidence in 246 people aged between 10--20 years living in a semi-rural Iranian village. 64 patients with ascariasis were treated with levamisole ('Ketrax' ICI) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Most were followed up 1 and 2 weeks after treatment, with cure rate of 97.7% and 98.4% respectively, as assessed by negative egg findings in faeces. No side effects were reported. Levamisole meets the requirements of individual and mass treatment of ascariasis.
