[Intestinal enzyme activity in patients with strongyloidiasis].

Enterokinase and alkaline phosphatase activities in the duodenal juice and fecal extract of 37 strongyloidosis patients living in moderate climate and 17 inhabitants of the tropics have been studied. In 60.7% inhabitants of the regions with moderate climate and 80% from the tropics decreased enterokinase activity in duodenal juice has been observed, while the decrease in alkaline phosphatase activity in fecal extract has been noted in 87.8% and 71.4% cases, respectively. After convalescence from 1 to 6 months, no normalization of intestinal enzymatic activity has been observed.

[Embovin efficacy and tolerance in the treatment of patients with intestinal nematode infections].

The efficacy and tolerance of embovin, a new anthelminthic manufactured in Russia, was studied in 60 patients with nematodiases. The results evidence its high efficacy in ankylostomiasis (100%), enterobiasis (100%), and ascariasis (90 +/- 6.4%). The drug was well tolerated in all the cases. No adverse effects on the liver, pancreas, kidneys, as well as on the peripheral blood and urine composition were detected. This recommends embovin for wide use in medical practice.

[2 outbreaks of trichinelliasis in Rostov Province].

Two epidemiologically unrelated outbreaks of trichinellosis were registered in Rostov Province in the November and December of 1984 with 16 patients in the Salsk District and 20 patients in Rostov-on-Don. The course of the disease was characterized by 6-20% of severe and 31-45% moderate forms, respectively. The source of the infection was pork that had not been controlled for Trichinella spiralis. Late diagnosis and inadequate treatment in one case led to a fatal outcome. Economic losses accounted for 490,000 rubles (as of 1985). In spite of energetic prophylaxis measures, the situation in the Rostov Province continues to be serious. In 1989-1992, eighteen cases of trichinellosis were registered in the Salsk District again.
