mebendazole and Cysticercosis

mebendazole has been researched along with Cysticercosis in 20 studies

Mebendazole: A benzimidazole that acts by interfering with CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM and inhibiting polymerization of MICROTUBULES.
mebendazole : A carbamate ester that is methyl 1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate substituted by a benzoyl group at position 5.

Cysticercosis: Infection with CYSTICERCUS, the larval form of the various tapeworms of the genus Taenia (usually T. solium in man). In humans they penetrate the intestinal wall and invade subcutaneous tissue, brain, eye, muscle, heart, liver, lung, and peritoneum. Brain involvement results in NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS.

"Cysticercosis is the presence of Taenia solium larval stage in tissues such as central nervous system, skin, muscles and eye globe."1.62Alterations in Taenia crassiceps cysticerci cytoskeleton induced by nitazoxanide and flubendazole.

"A 33-year-old patient with AIDS, and a history of episodes of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and cerebral toxoplasmosis, developed a subcutaneous paravertebral infiltrate, which at first resembled a haematoma."1.28[Taenia crassiceps infection in AIDS].

"The use of praziquantel in the treatment of cysticercosis is a major step towards eradicating the disease, but to be effective treatment must take cognizance of reinfection, the allergic reaction caused by the dying parasites, and the possible need for repeated courses of treatment."1.27Neurocysticercosis--a comprehensive approach to medical treatment. ( Joubert, J; Joubert, MJ; Lombaard, CM, 1985)
"Mebendazole in saline was effective when injected intraperitoneally, but adhesions often resulted from this route of administration."1.25The lethal effect of mebendazole on secondary Echinococcus granulosus, cysticerci of Taenia pisiformis and tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides corti.
