Immunological evidence of chemotherapeutic action of mebendazole against Ancylostoma ceylanicum (Looss, 1911) in hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus).

The immunological responses in hamsters during treatment with mebendazole against Ancylostoma ceylanicum are studied. Indirect haemagglutination (IHA) counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP), passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA), foot pad swelling for immediate (ITH) and delayed (DTH) types of hypersensitivities were employed for measuring the responses. Serum antibody which was 1:32 before treatment increased to the maximum of 1:512 (control 1:128) on the 10th day and it declined subsequently. The CIEP test was positive for 10 days and then became negative. The PCA test was positive throughout the observation period both in the treated and untreated groups. Foot pad swelling for ITH and DTH responses were comparatively more prominent than in the untreated control up to the 20th day and then both decreased simultaneously. The immunological responses remained prominent for a longer period and decreased more slowly in the untreated control group.

The infectivity of drug resistant cases.

The present study shows that leprosy bacilli resistant to dapsone, multiply in mouse foot-pad as equally as the dapsone sensitive bacilli would multiply suggesting that the dapsone resistant case will be as infective as the dapsone sensitive case.

Hydnocarpus oil as an antileprotic agent in footpad technique.

Hydnocarpus oil alone and mixed with dapsone in food and fed to the mice infected with Mycobacterium leprae; showed inhibition of the growth of the lepra bacilli, both sensitive and resistant to dapsone. There was an additive inhibitory effect of the combination of dapsone and oil on the growth of bacilli.
