The treatment of intestinal amoebiasis with a single dose of humatin

Humatin was well tolerated, and eliminated E. histolytica infection as determined by stool examination in sixty percent of cases. The drug appeared to be more effective in older individuals than in those under eight years of age. It eliminated abdominal cramps, fever, nausea, vomiting and weakness in most cases in which these symptoms were present before treatment (AU)

The effectiveness of C1-433 versus entero-vioform in the control of diarrhoeal disease

The data indicate that CI-433 was as well accepted as entero-vioform. A comparison between CI-433 and entero-vioform on day 5 for control of diarrhoea indicated no significant difference in the average consistency of stools or in the average number of stools. However, on day 10, entero-vioform showed a better average consistency in stools and also a smaller average number ofstools per day. Stool examination on day 5 for the two medication groups showed CI-433 had eliminated E.histolytica in a higher proportion of patients than did entero-vioform; CI-433 eliminated G.lamblia in the same proportion of patients as, entero-vioform; and CI-433 eliminated less in Shigella patients than entero-vioform. On day 10 entero-vioform, when compared to CI-433 (day 5), was slightly more effective in the elimination of E.histolytica, G.lamblia and Shigella (AU)
