Treatment of human disseminated strongyloidiasis with a parenteral veterinary formulation of ivermectin

Francisco M Marty et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

There are no parenteral antihelminthic drugs licensed for use in humans. We report the successful treatment of disseminated strongyloidiasis with a parenteral veterinary formulation of ivermectin in a patient presenting with severe malabsorption and paralytic ileus. To our knowledge, ivermectin levels are reported for the first time in this situation.
