153 @entity1 coming to France from Southeast Asia were treated with @entity2039 for @entity16883 . All these @entity1 , 52 @entity1 and 101 adults were examined 30 to 90 day after arrival in France. They came from Laos (118 cases), Vietnam (10 cases) and Cambodia (25 cases), generally via Thailand. 7 heavy (10.000-29.999 Eggs Per Gram of faeces, EPG), 55 moderate (1.000-9.999 EPG) and 91 light infections (1-999 EPG) were detected. @entity2039 was given at a dose of 25 mg/kg body weight, orally, three times on a single day at intervals of 4-6 hours. Clinical tolerability was perfect in 59 @entity1 and pretty good in the 94 remaining cases. We only observed, for one or two days, lassitude, @entity10 , drowsiness, @entity390 , @entity158 or @entity4841 - @entity925 , always of weak or moderate intensity and for 1 or 2 days. The biological tolerability was excellent without any variation of the biological norm values (47 parameters). The therapeutic efficacy was remarkable with 100% cure in all @entity1 , who were followed-up for 40 days. All earlier controls (7th, 20th days) were always negative except for two @entity1 who were completely negative on day 40th and later.
