title: Principles of contemporary treatment in trichinellosis.
abstract: Principles of trichinellosis treatment were presented, based on contemporary parasitologic and clinical criteria. Significance of the Trichinella sp. life cycle, phase of the invasion and the disease was presented. The role of anthelmintics was stressed, as drugs of choice in eradication of the intestinal phase and in prevention against development of the muscular phase. Role of glucocorticoids was described in suppression of acute clinical signs/symptoms. Pathology of the late period oftrichinellosis and of the late invasion sequele were discussed.
