Title
Efficacy of multiple dose mebendazole against trichuriasis in Thai and Karen patients
Treatment of trichuriasis with mebendazole 500 mg for three days, and 100 mg twice daily for three days, yielded cure rates of 93.9 and 88.9% in Thai patients, while the cure rates in Karen patients were 96.2 and 95.5% respectively. The total number of Thai and Karen trichuriasis patients were 60 and 48, when tested by modified cellophane thick smear Kato-Katz technique. There were no significant differences among the two groups of patients and doses of treatment (p > 0.05).
