Praziquantel is the agent of choice against all trema-todes apart from Fasciola hepatica where bithionol is the drug of first choice. It is also an anticestodal agent and, as also niclosamide, is a first choice drug for intestinal tapeworm infestations by Taenia solum (pork tapeworm), Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia latum (fish tapeworm) and Hymenolepis nana (dwarf tapeworm) and it is a second choice drug af-...

A. D. latum, the fish tapeworm acquired from consumption of raw fish in endemic areas, is best treated with praziquantel or niclosamide. [Pg.628]

Pernicious anemia is usually caused by poor absorption of the vitamin. Absorption depends upon the intrinsic factor, a mucoprotein (or rnuco-proteins) synthesized by the stomach lining.ad 1 Pernicious anemia patients often have a genetic predilection toward decreased synthesis of the intrinsic factor. Gastrectomy, which decreases synthesis of the intrinsic factor, or infection with fish tapeworms, which compete for available vitamin B12 and interfere with absorption, can also induce the disease. Also essential are a plasma membrane receptors 1 and two blood transport proteins... [Pg.869]

D. latum, the fish tapeworm, is acquired by eating inadequately cooked, infested fish. Most infected individuals are asymptomatic frequent manifestations include abdominal symptoms and weight loss megaloblastic anemia may occur due to vitamin deficiency. Praziquantel eliminates the worm. [Pg.697]

The four medically important cestodes are Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia solium (pork tapeworm, which can cause cysticerci in the brain and the eyesj, Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm), and Echinococcus granulosus (dog tapeworm, which can cause hydatid cysts in the liver, lungs, and brain). The primary drugs for treatment of cestode infections are praziquantel (see above) and niclosamide. [Pg.472]

Clinical use Niclosamide is one of two drugs of choice (with praziquantel) for infections caused by beef, pork, and fish tapeworm infections. However, it is not effective in cysticer-cosis (for which albendazole or praziquantel is used) or hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus (for which albendazole is used). Scoleces and cestode segments are killed, but ova are not. Niclosamide is effective in the treatment of infections due to small and large intestinal flukes. [Pg.472]

Praziquantel is the drug of first choice for infections caused by the Oriental liver fluke and by the fish tapeworm. Both types of infection are transmitted mainly via the consumption of raw fish. Niclosamide is one of two dmgs of choice for fish tapeworm infections (with praziquantel), but it is not active against Clonorchis sinensis. Albendazole is not effective in fish tapeworm infections but is useful in the pork tapeworm larval stage (cysticercosis). The answer is (E). [Pg.475]
