Thiabendazole for the treatment of strongyloidiasis in patients with hematologic malignancies

Clin Infect Dis. 2000 Sep;31(3):821-2. doi: 10.1086/314023.

Abstract

A total of 21 patients with hematologic malignancies were given thiabendazole for treatment of strongyloidiasis. Fifteen patients were cured. Since there were no relapses, it is unlikely that maintenance therapy has a role in the management of strongyloidiasis in this population of patients.
