Popis: In areas with high prevalence, intensity and incidence of soil-transmitted helminthosis four main soil-transmitted helminth infections, ascariasis, trichuriasis, strongyloidiasis and hookworm, are common clinical disorders in man. Mebendazole, albendazole, ivermectin and pyrantel are commonly used to remove these infections. The use of these drugs is not limited to treatment of symptomatic soil-transmitted helminth infections, but also for large-scale prevention of morbidity in children living in endemic areas. Recent research has provided new diagnostic technologies applicable to diagnosis, treatment and control. Despite some progress in their control, intestinal nematode infections continue to be a major public health problem in many regions.
