Abstract:

In February 1987, 322 Sudanese school children were diagnosed for Schistosoma Mansoni infection and treated randomly with Praziquantel (either 20mg/kg or 40mg/kg body weight). A followup of these subjects was carried out in January 1989. This treatment resulted in substantial reduction of egg output.
