| [treatment of 700 cases of bilharziasis with the new drugs oxamniquine, oltipraz, praziquantel]. | the authors study the results of a treatment of 700 cases of bilharziasis seen in paris and in two foci in togo, by oxamniquine, oltipraz or praziquantel. the three drugs are well tolerated; only a few mild side-effects were reported such as discomfort, nausea, headaches (two cases of acrodynia with oltipraz ). the three drugs are very efficacious in the case of schistosomiasis mansoni (85,5% success rate with oxamniquine, 92,9% with praziquantel, from 76,5 to 92% with oltipraz depending on the ... | 1983 | 6673843 |
| [the prevalence of schistosomiasis in togo. a cross-sectional study conducted in a school setting]. | as a prelude to a national campaign to control schistosomiasis in togo, mass screening of school children in 22 prefectures was undertaken to determine the extent of endemic schistosomiasis. children were randomly selected for testing. in each case, stool examinations using by the kato-katz method and urine tests (centrifugation of 10 ml) were performed to detect schistosome eggs. a total of 2511 children were tested. the sex ratio was 1.7 and mean age 10.4 years (range: 5 to 20 years). the inci ... | 1999 | 10472583 |

| coinfections with schistosoma haematobium, necator americanus, and entamoeba histolytica/entamoeba dispar in children: chemokine and cytokine responses and changes after antiparasite treatment. | the effect of polyparasite infections on cytokine and chemokine responses as well as the effect of antiparasite treatment was studied in children without parasite infection (the g0 group), in children singly infected with schistosoma haematobium (the g1 group), and in children multiply infected with s. haematobium/schistosoma mansoni, entamoeba histolytica/entamoeba dispar, and necator americanus (the g3+ group). linear regression analysis disclosed a significant risk for coinfection with hookwo ... | 2009 | 19392635 |
