"SMC" caused a marked reduction in the overall prevalence (32.6%) and intensity (23.4%) of infection of the pretreatment level three months later. However, prevalence and intensity of infection rose again to 60.9% and 52.7% of their respective levels one year after treatment. Of individuals cured by "PZQ", 30.4% became reinfected with S. haematobium within 1 year. Most of the reinfected individuals were children aged less than 19 years, especially, in the 10-14 years old age bracket. The prevalence of reinfection was two times higher than that in the other children. The reinfection occurred frequently in individuals who showed heavy infection before treatment. The egg counts in reinfected individuals were lower than their pretreatment levels and didn't differ by sex, age nor pretreatment egg count levels. Our previous communication (Shimada et at., 1987, 1989b) had been revealed that children were frequently in contact with infested water and levels of water contact reflected a prevalence and intensity of infection in our study population. The results of the present study were probably again reflected by human water contact in our study area., 日本熱帯医学会雑誌, vol.20(2), pp.157-164; 1992}, pages = {157--164}, title = {プラジカンテルによる治療後短期間に起こったビルハルツ住血吸虫の再感染}, volume = {20}, year = {1992} }
