[Imidazoles in larval cestode infections].

P Bouree, M Jerray

    Summary

    Imidazole derivatives like flubendazole and mebendazole show promise in treating human larval cestode infections. High-dose, long-term treatment appears effective against hydatid cysts and echinococcosis without adverse effects.

    Area of Science:

    • * Parasitology and Tropical Medicine
    • * Pharmacology and Drug Efficacy Studies

    Context:

    • * Human larval cestode infections, including hydatid cysts, alveolar echinococcosis, and cerebral cysticercosis, pose significant health challenges.
    • * Limited therapeutic options exist for these parasitic diseases, necessitating research into effective treatments.

    Purpose:

    • * To evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of imidazole derivatives (flubendazole and mebendazole) in patients with human larval cestode infections.
    • * To assess the safety and efficacy of high-dose, long-term administration of these agents.

    Summary:

    • * Thirty-one patients with various larval cestode infections were treated with imidazole derivatives.
    • * Follow-up data (up to 6 years) indicated arrested lesion development and no new cyst formation post-treatment.
    • * High dosages (100 mg/kg) administered over 1-2 years showed apparent efficacy without reported side effects.

    Impact:

    • * Imidazole derivatives demonstrate potential as effective treatments for challenging parasitic cestode infections.
    • * Findings suggest a viable therapeutic strategy for hydatid disease and related conditions, warranting further investigation.
    • * The study highlights the potential for long-term, high-dose imidazole therapy with a favorable safety profile.
