Following treatment, the heavier subjects (weighing 4150 kg) were most likely to have an uncured infec- tion (40%), whereas those of moderate weight (3140 kg) were

6、 least likely (21%). Overall, the geometric mean egg count (GMEC) appeared to be drastically reduced by treatment, with the log10(eggs/10 ml urine)+1 values falling from 1.75 pre- treatment to 0.9 post-treatment (Table 4; t=4.45; P70% of those treated and to reduce signifi- cantly the intensities of

7、 infection in those not cured. In Senegal, similarly, De Clercq et al. (2002) also found artesunate to be effective against S. haematobium, although the results they obtained with praziquantel were consis- tently better. The present results and those of De Clercq et al. (2002) differ remarkably from

8、 the observations of Borrmann et al. (2001), who found that only 27% of the subjects they treated with artesunate in Gabon were cured and that almost the samepercentage of those given placebo tablets (20%) also appeared cured. Borrmann et al. (2001) thought that their disappointing results might be

9、the result of an inherent resistance to artemisinin or its derivatives in S. haematobium. There is, however, no evidence in the present results from Nigeria, or those of De Clercq et al. (2002) from Senegal, of marked resistance to artesunate in S. haematobium. In addition, NGoran et al. (2003) repo

10、rted the protective efficacy of a closely related compound, artemether, against S. haematobium infection in Cte dIvoire, although the effect was lower than that previously reported for S. japonicum (Xiao et al., 2000b) and S. mansoni (Utzinger et al., 2000). In the present study, the use of a 2-week

11、 interval between the two doses as recom- mended, for artemether, by Xiao et al. (2000c) rather than 3 weeks, the generally low intensities of infection pre-treatment, and the fact that artesunate had not previ- ously been used in Adim may all have enhanced the (apparent) efficacy of the drug. About

12、 four fifths of the subjects of the present study had light infections when treated (Table 3). There are three important limitations of the present study. Firstly, the design of the study was non-randomized. Secondly,TABLE 5. The costs, in Nigeria, of the tablets needed to give children of various w

Human schis- tosomiasis is primar

In communities such as Adim, where large families are the rule, parents are likely to be constrained financially when procuring drugs for the treatment of their children. If left untreated, however, their children may have schistosomiasis for many years and, consequently, poor school atten- dance and academic performance (U
