[Up-dated progress in diagnosis and treatment of echinococcosis].

Diagnostic proces and choice of optimal management of cystic echinococcosis have to be related to the natural history of the parasite. The early and the late stages of invasion require a careful differential diagnosis with non-parasitic diseases. These are also the stages that many not require surgery. Chemotherapy, PAIR and "wait and observe approach" are alternative ways of cystic echinococcosis management. Em-18 WB test has a good diagnostic value in alveolar echinococcosis. Management of alveolar echinococcosis is based on radical surgery, prolonged chemotherapy and long-term observation.

Efficacy of low doses of praziquantel in taeniasis.

Early experimental studies suggested that doses of 1 to 5 mg of praziquantel (PZQ) per kg are effective against several intestinal cestodiases. The usually recommended single dose of PZQ in human taeniasis is 5 or 10 mg/kg. A study in T. saginata taeniasis showed a full efficacy at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg. A field study confirmed that a dose between 3.4 and 7.5 mg/kg was effective in expulsion T. solium tapeworms in man. A dose of 2.5 mg of PZQ per kg would be safer and more economical in population-oriented interventions aiming at control of T. solium taeniasis in man.
