Resumen : | Most Schistosoma mansoni infections are egg-negative after a single dose of oxamniquine. A cohort of 661 infected children was treated at 6-month intervals and assessed for nutritional and parasitological status. Initial biochemical and immunologic markers were measured in a subset of 84 children. All were treated at the start of therapy and at 6 months. Immunoglobulins only served as markers for active infection. No markers were predictive of cure or reinfection, except initial infection intensity and serum low-density lipoprotein. Ten percent were persistently infected and had no change in infection intensity at any time-point. Several factors suggest that this group was biologically different. In addition to failing to reduce their worm burden, they had significantly higher initial intensity of infection (100 versus 65 eggs/g, P = 0.001) and significantly lower initial serum low-density lipoprotein (72 versus 104 mg/dL, P = 0.045). The biologic plausibility of this observation is discussed. |
