Influência da idade e esquema de tratamento na parasitemia de camundongos infectados pelo Trypanosoma cruzi tratados com bioterápico de alta potência / Influence of age and ways of treatment in the parasitemia in mice infected with Trypanosoma cruzi treated with high potency biotherapy
The infection of mice by Trypanosoma cruzi is well known, making this a good model for understanding the effect of highly diluted medications. Mice of different ages show different responses to biotherapic T. cruzi [1]. Other data from our laboratory using biotherapic treatment at low potencies show that long lasting treatment has a better effect in mice infected with T. cruzi. However, the use of high potencybiotherapics in mice of different ages infected with T. cruzi has not been analysed yet.
Conclusion:
The age and the ways of treatment used are important factors to be considered when using a highly diluted medication. The clinical use of these results in humans, should take into consideration the allometric system of medication dosage which takes into account the metabolic rate of each organism.(AU)
A idade e o esquema de tratamento utilizado são fatores importantes a serem considerados na utilização de medicamento ultradiluído. A utilização clínica destes resultados em humanos, deve considerar o sistema alométrico de dosagem de medicamentos que leva em conta a taxa metabólica de cada organismo.(AU)
