Long-term treatment of onchocerciasis in children with low doses of diethylcarbamazine
Ann Trop Med Parasitol.
1978 Feb.
Abstract
Two groups of children were treated daily with 12.5 or 25 mg diethylcarbamazine for five months and a further group with 12.5 mg daily for seven weeks; 88 children completed the course. The trial was under constant supervision and ophthalmic and parasitological examinations were carried out at approximately one-month intervals. The acceptability of the drug was poor owing to adverse reactions, but the clinical response to treatment good.
