Efficacy of Mebendazole Composite Cream in Treatment of Trichiniasis in Mice by Skin Administration / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Male mice weighting 25-32g were infected with larvae of Trichinella spiralis. Skin administrations of mebendazole composite cream were carried out on the mice in 3 different experiment groups. It was found that there were the reduction rate of worms at 97.3%, 100% and 99. 7% in the adult worm group (50 mg/kg x 1 d), in the invasive larvae group (25 mg/kg x 7 d) and in the encysted larvae group (25 mg/kg x 7 d), respectively. These results indicate that mebendazole composite cream is very effective against both intestinal and muscular phases of T. spiralis.
