The use of protein hydrolysate improves the protein intestinal absorption in undernourished mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni
Patients residing in endemic areas for schistosomiasis in Brazil are usually undernourished and when they develop the hepatosplenic clinical form of the disease should usually receive hospital care, many of them being in need of nutritional rehabilitation before specific treatment can be undertaken....
