The parameters for evaluating efficacy were egg negative conversion rates and egg reduction rates. RESULTS: Four weeks after treatment, the negative conversion rates were 100%, 92.3%, 85.2% and 71.4% in groups A, B, C and D, respectively; the egg reduction rates were 84.8%-100%. The curative effects among groups A, B and C are not statistically different. CONCLUSION: Praziquantel is the drug of choice for treatment of E. fujianensis, while mebendazole is also effective,especially for those with mixed infections of other intestinal namtodes.
