非洲的肺吸虫与亚洲等其他地区的肺吸虫有些不同,因此名为非洲肺吸虫。估计尼日利亚和喀麦隆两个国家的感染人数在25万以上。作者于1959年在尼日利亚东部对发现的肺吸虫病患者曾用吐根素及氯喹治疗,效果不显,近来改用硫双二氯酚及拜耳药厂的新产品Bileron(又名Niclofolen)治疗效果都很满意。 Paragonimus in Africa is somewhat different from paragonimiasis in other parts of Asia and is therefore called African paragonimiasis. The number of infections in both Nigeria and Cameroon is estimated at over 250,000. The author in 1959 in eastern Nigeria found that patients with paragonimiasis ibuprofen and chloroquine treatment effect is not significant, the recent switch to sulfur bisdichlorophen and Bayer’s new product Bileron (also known as Niclofolen) treatment effect Very satisfied.
