STRONG TREAT

Multiple Versus Single Dose of Ivermectin for the Treatment of Strongyloidiasis

Ivermectin is currently the best drug to cure strongyloidiasis, but the standard single dose of 200 mcg/kg is probably not enough to guarantee a cure. As strongyloidiasis can be fatal in immunosuppressed patients, it is mandatory to define the optimal dosage to eradicate the parasite. The aim of this study is to define the most effective dose schedule of ivermectin to cure strongyloidiasis.
