A double blind trial with oxamniquine in chronic schistosomiasis mansoni

Abstract: Ninety-one children with chronic schistosomiasis mansoni were selected for this double blind trial. 48 (Group 1) were treated with a single oral dose of oxamniquine (20mg/kg body-weight) and 43 (Group 2) received the placebo. Clinical, laboratory and radiological examinations were performed before and after treatment. Dark urine and vomiting were observed only in the oxamniquine group.

“…Patient 3 in our viewpoint presented a Löeffler-like syndrome due to lung deposition of embolic worms or/and immune complexes produced by dead worms after chemotherapy with oxamniquine (Lambertucci et al 1982, Greco et al 1987, Doenhoff et al 1988). As we know, praziquantel kills the worms a few hours after treatment but oxamniquine takes 7 to 10 days to have the same effect (unpublished observations).…”

Na presente situação, um ano após o tratamento, os resultados seriam inconclusivos porque seria impossível separar os efeitos da reinfecção e da falha terapêutica.…”

O relato de crise convulsiva, pouco tempo após o tratamento, tem sido anotado esporadicamente com o uso deste medicamento 9 .…”

“…Quatro pacientes queixaram-se de dor torácica, tipo pleuríti-ca, pouco tempo após o tratamento, observando-se em dois deles alterações radiológicas. Estas alterações foram interpretadas como devidas à pneumonia por verme morto, fenômeno já descrito com o uso de vários esquistossomicidas 10 .…”
