title: [Treatment experience with biltricide in a natural focus of opisthorchiasis].
abstract: Since 1992, a total of 72 opisthorchiasis patients have been treated with biltricide in the outpatient setting, with laboratory pre-examination of their blood organs. The treatment was made in a course dose of 60 mg/kg body weight during a day. On the following day the patients underwent duodenal probing to remove parasites. Adverse reactions as giddiness were noted in 9 patients. The efficiency of the therapy was monitored 3 months later, the control analysis detected no Opisthorchis eggs in 96% of the patients. The outpatient use of bilthricide indicates its high efficiency in the treatment of opisthorchiasis if the following requirements are met: preparation of patients, drug taking in the presence of a medical worker.
