RESUMO
From the foregoing liver function tests made on 96 schistosomiasis patients before, during, and after one series of Fuadin treatment, we feel justified to make the following statements: 1. There was no interference in the bile flow in almost all of them, except in three who were in the late stage of the disease2. Appreciable liver cell damage was hardly noted in patients in the early stage of the disease, but were more apparent towards the late stage, depending on the condition and the degree of cirrhosis present3. Treatment with Fuadin seems to have improved the state of the liver, particularly in those patients treated in the early stage; but only slightly in those treated in the late stage. It may be added that Fuadin therapy did not seem to aggravate the existing condition in the liver in those cases, in spite of the appearance of certain toxic reactions in a number of them. It would seem unjustified, however, to push Fuadin further in those that showed toxic reactions. (Summary)
