“…In 12 polyparasitic children, 83.3% had double parasitism and 17.6% had triple parasitism. These results are consistent with those obtained in other African countries [37]. However, this rate is lower than that found in previous studies conducted in Gabon and other countries.…”

“…Headaches, drowsiness and dizziness were also reported as AEs. Adoubryn et al [20] conducted a similar study in Biankouma, Côte d’Ivoire and found the frequency of AEs to be 40.8%, which is higher than in the current study. In another study, N’Goran et al found 33.3% of school children treated with praziquantel alone experienced one side effect AE or more which is also much higher compared to the present study [21].…”

Additionally for ALB, there are reports of the occurrence of epigastric pain, dry mouth, fever and itching [18,21,32,[38][39][40]. However, the occurrence of AEs are reported to be associated with the proportion of dying S. haematobium worms, i.e., with the pharmacologic effect of the drug on the parasite (for example; abdominal pain is reported to be associated with the deposition of dead worms in the mesenteric veins), they can also occur due to the natural course of disease [19,32,37,41,42].…”
