1.Mosquito infection with microfilaria two years after administration of a combination of diethycarbamazine and albendazole in Khanh Vinh district, Khanh Hoa province
Journal of Malaria and parasite diseases Control 2003;0(1):64-68
The study was conducted in Khanh Trung commune, Khanh Vinh district of Khanh Hoa province to assess the mosquito infection two years after DEC administration. Seventeen species of mosquito belonging to 5 genera have been found of which the main vector Wuchereria bancrofti was predominant. Indoor collection of Culex quinquefasdatus at daytime and nighttime was 3.5 and 2.3 individuals/house, respectively. Cx. vishnui was mainly found on the cattle sheds with an average density of 4.6 individuals/shed. A total of 578 mosquitoes of five species (Cx. quinqllefasciatus, An. vaglls, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. vislznui, Cx. fuscocephalus) were dissected. None of them were positive with microfilaria.

The authors had performed stereotactic surgery to diagnose and treat 2 cases of neurocysticercosis under the local anethesia. Generally, such the open surgery need a general anethesia which may increase the chance of brain parenchyml injury. However, the stereotactic surgery has the advantage of being an easy and precise procedure under local anethesia. The authors reviewed the literature and discussed the stereotactic surgery in the diagnosis, and treatment of neurocysticercosis.

An oculogyric crisis which was resolved after intravenous injection of diazepam 10 mg developed in a 16-year-old girl after an oral dose of 400 mg of albendazole. Although ocular side effects of albendazole are rare, it can induce an alarming oculogyric crisis in some sensitive subjects. The mechanism of the oculogyric crisis is unclear.

Toxocariasis has a broad clinical spectrum, from asymptomatic to systemic illness. However, cerebral toxocariasis has rarely been reported. We experienced a patient who presented with seizure and memory disturbance after treatment for visceral larva migrans of toxocariasis. Laboratory findings included eosinophilia, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis, and positive results for toxocariasis in the serum and CSF. The patient showed marked improvement after combined albendazole and steroid treatment. This case indicates that cerebral toxocariasis is an unusual cause of cognitive dysfunction and seizure.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcome of the intraoperative and perioperative albendazole (ALB) treatment on the recurrence and/or secondary hydatidosis. METHODS: One hundred and one patients with hepatic hydatidosis were treated intraoperatively and perioperatively with ALB, in addition to surgery. Perioperative ALB treatment was given in a dose of 12-15 mg/kg/day. The ALB treatment was started 13.27 +/- 14.34 days before the surgery, and it was continued for 4.39 +/- 3.11 months postoperatively. A total of 1.7 microg/mL of ALB solution was used as a protoscolidal agent. The follow-up period was 134.55 +/- 51.56 months. RESULTS: Four patients died, with only one death was secondary to hydatid disease (cerebral eccinococcus). There was only one recurrence (1%) of hepatic hydatidosis. Early and late morbidity rates were 8.91% and 7.92%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that intraoperative and perioperative ALB is effective for the prevention of hepatic hydatidosis recurrence and/or secondary hydatidosis.

Albendazole, one of imidazole derivatives, is an new drug for the threatment of neurocysticercosis. In this study, effectiveness of albendazole and praziquantel for therapy for parenchymal or mixed neurocysticercosis was compared. Group A included 5 patients treated with albendazole for 7-10days. Three patients among them had been treated with praziquantel previously with partial response. During treatment, all patients presented with adverse reactions, such as mild fever, intense headache, vomiting, and seizure. After 3 months of treatment, the percentage of reduction in total number and total diameter of cysts on computed tomographic scan (CT) were 55.0%, 58.0% respectively. Group B included 10 patients treated with praziquantel for 5014days. Among them, only 2 patients presented with adverse reactions. The percentage of reduction in total number and total diameter of cysts on CT were 0%, 48.1% respectively. Froup C included 5 patients treated conservatively without any specific anticysticereal agent. Follow up CT after mean of 18.6 months had shown increase in total number (125%) and total diameter (151%) of cysts. Our results indicalte that both drougs were effective for therapy for parenchymal or mixed neurocysticercosis. But, albendazole I.

Hydatid disease is Echinococcus granulosus infection in its larva form. It is endemic in many sheep- and cattle-raising countries throughout the world. In Korea seventeen cases have been reported but relapsed case is not. We report relapsed hydatid disease in pelvic cavity 10 years after primary surgery for Echinococcal cysts in the liver and pelvic cavity. The cysts were surgically removed and the patient was managed with postoperative adjuvant treatment with albendazole and followed with serologic test for anti-echinoccocus antibodies by ELISA.

A 34-year-old woman presented with several intensely pruritic erythematous serpiginous thread-like skin lesions which began as a small papule on the epigastrium 4 months prior to her visit and was migrating to the left chest area. The laboratory examination showed eosinophilia and the total serum IgE level was slightly increased. Histopathologic examination revealed a pustular burrow in the epidermis with a larva-like cystic lesion apart from the burrow in the epidermis. The patient was treated with topical 10 % albendazole cream 3 times daily for 1 week without recurrence for 22 months up to now. We thought this was a rare case which was confirmed by a skin biopsy showing larva in the epidermis.

Annals of Dermatology 2006;18(1):33-36
Cutaneous gnathostomiasis has also been called larva migrans profundus and nodular migratory eosinophilic panniculitis. Human gnathostomiasis is caused mainly by the nematode Gnathostoma spinigerum. It causes migratory cutaneous, erythematous, indurated plaques and serious visceral sequelae. Medical treatment with mebendazole, albendazole, and ivermectin has been disappointing. Surgical excision of the parasite is the treatment of choice when possible.
