Ancylostoma duodenale

Hookworm infection is caused by Ancylostoma duodenale or Necator americanus. N. americanus is found in the southeastern United States. Infective larvae enter the host in contaminated food or water or penetrate the skin and migrate to the small intestine. The adult worm attaches to gastrointestinal mucosa and causes injury by lytic destruction of the tissue. Over a period of time, the adult worm can cause anemia and hypopro-teinemia in the host. [Pg.1143]

Pyrantel pamoate is active against several roundworms A lumbricoides, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, and E. vermicularis. Pyrantel is an alternative drug of choice in treating infections with A lumbricoides, E. vermicularis (pinworms), and hookworms N. americanus and A. duodenale). It is not recommended for pregnant patients or for children under age 1 year. [Pg.624]

Mebendazole is a benzimidazole that kills parasitic worms by blocking glucose uptake, thus depleting stored glycogen. Without glycogen, parasites cannot reproduce or survive. It is indicated in the treatment of Trichuris trichuria (whipworm), Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm), Ascaris lum-bricoides (roundworm), Ancylostoma duodenale (common hookworm), or Necator americanus (American hookworm), in single infection or mixed infections. [Pg.403]

Hookworms Ancylostoma duodenale Necator americanus The human hookworms include two nematode (roundworm) species-Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus (adult females 10-13 mm A. duodenale), 9-11 mm (A/, americanus) adult males ... [Pg.504]

In practical terms this means that piperazine does not add to the anthelmintic effect of pyrantel on Ascaris as might be expected, but opposes it. For this reason it is usually recommended that concurrent use should be avoided, but direct clinical evidence confirming that combined use is ineffective seems to be lacking. It seems reasonable to extrapolate the results of these studies on Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm) to the other gastrointestinal parasites for which pyrantel is used, i.e. Enterobius ver-micularis (threadworm or pinworm), Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus (hookworm) and Trichostrongylus spp. However, no one seems to have studied this. [Pg.239]
