Disease relevance of Fental

  • Effect of nitazoxanide on morbidity and mortality in Zambian children with cryptosporidiosis: a randomised controlled trial [1].
  • METHODS: Children with cryptosporidial diarrhoea who were admitted to the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia, between November, 2000, and July, 2001, and whose parents consented to their having an HIV test were randomly assigned nitazoxanide (100 mg twice daily orally for 3 days) or placebo [1].
  • In vitro and in vivo activities of nitazoxanide against Clostridium difficile [2].
  • Nitazoxanide (NTZ) is a redox-active nitrothiazolyl-salicylamide prodrug that kills Helicobacter pylori and also many anaerobic bacterial, protozoan, and helminthic species [3].
  • This suggests that nitazoxanide may be effective in treating microsporidiosis caused by E. bieneusi, a disease for which there is no established treatment [4].
