Here, it was studied skin biopsies from 426 inhabitants. In the nodules of 86.7% from patients was encountered Onchocerca volvulus. The over-all prevalence in the examined population was 66.2%. The treatment with ivermectin covered 80.1% of total population. Adverse reactions, light and moderate, of the medicament were reported in 12.3% of the patients.

摘要

1993年起，在巴西罗赖马州亚诺马米地区对盘尾丝虫病的临床和流行病学情况进行描述后，国家卫生基金会（FNS）在托托比和巴拉瓦乌实施了一个控制与治疗试点项目。在此，对426名居民进行了皮肤活检。在86.7%患者的结节中发现了旋盘尾丝虫。受检人群的总体患病率为66.2%。用伊维菌素治疗覆盖了总人口的80.1%。12.3%的患者报告了该药物的轻度和中度不良反应。这些结果与医学文献相符，并表明在下一阶段扩大该项目至整个亚诺马米地区具有可行性。
