Wuchereria bancrofti

Diethylcarbama2iae (9) (orally administered) has been successful for decades in the treatment of filariasis, eg, elephantiasis (32). It kills microfilariae in the blood of the filarial worms Wuchereria bancrofti Brugia malaji and lj)a loa. [Pg.247]

Diethylcarbamazine is a derivative of piperazine. The mechanism of its action is not completely understood. However, it is highly likely that it causes a reduction in muscular activity, and even paralysis in hehninthes. It quickly gets rid of the parasites Brugia malayi, Loa loa, and Wuchereria bancrofti, and it is also used for diseases caused by Onchocerca volvulus and Mansonella strptocerca. Synonyms of this drug are hetrazan, notezine, banoside, and others. [Pg.586]

Diethylcarbamazine is an anthelmintic drug that does not resemble other antiparasitic compounds although it has some relationship with piperazine derivatives and it has been useful in the management of filariasis due to Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi and Loa loa and of tropical eosinophilia. It is a lipoxygenase inhibitor and alters the surface structure of the parasite making it more susceptible to destruction by the host. It is well absorbed and widely distributed. It is eliminated with an half-life of 5-13 hours both by metabolism and excretion unchanged in the urine. [Pg.432]

Diethylcarbamazine is the drug of choice for certain filarial infections, such as Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Loa loa. Since diethylcarbamazine is not universally active against hlarial infections, a specihc diagnosis based on blood smears, biopsy samples, and a geographic history is important. Dosage should be adjusted in patients with renal impairment. [Pg.623]

Adult worms of Wuchereria bancrofti live in the blood and lymph of the host. Elephantiasis, characterized by extreme enlargement of a host s extremities, is the rare but dramatic result of the host body s defensive reaction to the presence of the worms. [Pg.757]

In the treatment of Wuchereria bancrofti filariasis in 23 patients with single doses up to 200 micrograms/kg respiratory capacity was evaluated there was a transient but significant fall in vital capacity some 24—30 hours after administration, apparently due to bronchodilatation (30). Frank dyspnea occurred in 2% of cases in the study cited... [Pg.1950]
