Overview
Anti-helminthic therapies are recommended among patients with ancylostomiasis. Efficacy of treatment varies according to the severity of infection, geographical distribution, and age groups. Multiple blood transfusion, iron supplements are also be given in severe cases.
Medical Therapy
Anti-helminthic therapies are recommended among patients with ancylostomiasis. Efficacy of treatment varies according to the severity of infection, geographical distribution, and age groups.[1]
- Adult
- For stable uncomplicated cases
- Preferred regimen: albendazole 400 mg PO single dose. If failed to respond it is recommended to administer albendazole 400 mg PO q24 h for 3 days or 800 mg PO as a single dose[2]
- Alternative regimen: mebendazole 100 mg PO q12h for 3 days.[1]
- Alternative regimen: pyrantel pamoate 11mg/kg PO q24h for 3 days (maximum, 1gm per dose)
- For unstable complicated cases
- Albendazole 400 mg PO q24 h for 3 days[2]
- Mebendazole 100 mg PO q24 h for 5 days
- Multiple blood transfusion
- Iron supplements
- For stable uncomplicated cases
- Pediatric
- Children <2 years of age
- Currently, for the treatment of young infants, no guidelines are available. But current knowledge shows that the side effects linked to benzimidazole drugs in young children are likely to be the same as in older children and adults. Therefore, for the potential benefit of physical and cognitive development, the treatment of young infants could be justified.[3]
- Preferred regimen: albendazole 200 mg PO single dose.[4]
- Alternative regimen: mebendazole 100 mg PO q12h for 3 days.[5]
- Children <2 years of age
