We semi-quantitative PCR modular format to detect bloodborne agents encompassed common etiologies AFI region, recent epidemics,...
In countries where soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are endemic, deworming programs recommended to reduce morbidity; however, increasing levels of resistance benzimidazoles concern. an observational study in Peru, we studied the clinical efficacy 400 mg albendazole 20 days after treatment among children aged 2-11 years. Of 426 participants who provided samples, 52.3% were infected with a STH, 144 (33.8%) positive for Ascaris (41.8% light, 50.8% moderate, and 7.4% heavy infections),...
