Insight about Treatment lines of Trichinosis

Abstract

Trichinosis is a persistent public health issue in countries where there is high pork consumption. In Africa, trichinosis has so far been recognized primarily in ethnic minorities and tourists with no more than 100 documented infections in Algeria, Cameroon, Demoqratic Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania. To eliminate adult worms from the intestinal lumen, thus preventing the production of NBL and muscle invasion and the development of trichinosis, antihelmintics must be used during the period of intestinal invasion (i.e. less than 1 week after infection). However, this is rarely possible, and treatment is usually started at the beginning of larval development in muscle cells. Since it has not been NBL in the human intestine, it is recommended that antihelmintics should be administered to all persons with trichinosis during 4–6 weeks post infection.
