10. Treatment

• Mebendazole, 200 mg, for adults and 100
mg for children, for 3 days is effective.

11. Toxocara canis

12. Eggs of Toxocara canis

These eggs are passed in dog feces, especially puppies'
feces. Human infections with Toxocara do not produce or
excrete eggs, and therefore eggs are not a diagnostic
finding in human toxocariasis.

13. Treatment

• Albendazole 400 mg bid x 5d
• Mebendazole 100-200 mg bid x 5d

14. Trichuris trichiura

The life span of the adults is about 1 year

gives a very high cure rate. Mebendazole is
an alternative. The whole family should be
treated, to avoid reinfection.
