[Clinical experiment studies in the treatment of echinococcosis with mebendazole (Vermox)].
3 patients with echinococcosis were treated with Mebendazol conservatively. One patient got a drug allergy. The other two were operated after a conservative therapy during 3 years in one case and in the course of 110 days in the other case. Dead as well as vital echinococcus cysts and protobrood-cysts were found intraoperatively. The intraabdominal transmission of protobrood-cysts to white infantile mice led to a secondary echinococcosis. The surgical therapy appeared more efficacious in contrast to the conservative treatment. A combination of surgical therapy and conservative treatment is to be recommended in severe disseminated forms of the echinococcosis.
