title: [New antiprotozoal and antiarthropod drugs].
abstract: Few developments have taken place in this area, except for the use of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole for isosporosis and spiramycin for cryptosporidiosis in immune suppressed patients. For parasitic arthropods, crotamiton and piretoids have been helpful in treating scabies and pediculosis, respectively.
