Popis: • A patient with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and renal dysfunction caused bySchistosoma mansoniwas treated with oxamniquine. High levels of circulating immunocomplexes returned to normal following treatment, although renal function for the long term was unchanged. Specific antischistosomal therapy may be of partial benefit to patients with this disease. (Arch Intern Med1983;143:1477-1479)
