Article in English | IMSEAR | ID: sea-134027
ABSTRACT
The  agar  plate  method  is  a  new  and  highly  sensitive  technique  for  diagnosis  strongyloidiasis.  We  detected  strongyloidiasis  from 331  villagers  in  Khon  Kaen  province  by  using  this  technique.  There  were  82 cases  (24.77%)  positive  for  Strongyloides  stercoralis.  They  were  administered  albendazole  400  mg  orally  once  a  day  for  3 consecutive  days.  Only   51  cases  submitted  stools  for re -  examination  two  weeks  after  treatment.  There  were  38  cases  cured  (74.51%)  This  study  showed  that  strongyloidiasis  is  still  a  high  cause  of  infection  in Khon  Kaen  and  the  dosage  of  400  mg  orally  once  a  day  for  3  consecutive  days  of  albendazole  showed  effective  treatment.
