Evaluation of the Efficacy of Antihelminthic Treatment with Oxantel-Pyrantel Pamoate and Reinfection by Geohelminths, in Children from two Populations in Sucre State
Efficacy of oxantel-pyrantel pamoate and helminthic reinfection were evaluated in children from both sexes between the ages of 3 and 14. We selected 289 children in total, 123 from Agua Blanca, Montes Municipality, and 166 from Malariologia, Cumana, Sucre Municipality. Feces samples were collected a...

Most of the helminthic infections showed low levels and no statistically significant differences were seen between the populations (F=2,76; p>0,05 for Ascaris lumbricoides, F=2,13; p>0,05 for T. trichiura and F=1,17;p>0,05 for Necator americanus).
