title: [The role of inflammation in the spontaneous elimination of Strongyloides ratti infestation].
abstract: In order to assess the role of inflammation and its components in spontaneous cure of Strongyloides ratti infestation, rats were treated with non-steroid anti-inflammatory agents (indometacin; sodium salicylate) or with antagonists of certain mediators (dexchlorpheniramin; cyproheptadin, promethazin). Results were compared with those obtained in similar treatments of rats infested by other Nematoda which also give rise to spontaneous cure: especially Trichinella spiralis, and Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Coordinating the various findings made it possible to devise a pattern accounting for the chain of reactions that lead to rejection of the parasite.
