Abstract

Praziquantel in a single dose of 40 mg/kg body weight was effective in more than 80% of patients with amoebic dysentery and in 70% of those with intestinal giardiasis. These results were comparable to the effect of metronidazole the difference being the use of a single dose of praziquantel the rapid disappearance of clinical signs and symptoms and the ability of praziquantel to eradicate the cysts of E. histolytica.
