Disease relevance of Enterobiasis

Mebendazole is generally considered the drug of choice for trichuriasis and has therapeutic advantages over other anthelmintics in the treatment of enterobiasis and hookworm infections [1].
After a single dose of albendazole, the cure rate was 95.3% in ascariasis, 92.2% in ancylostomiasis, 90.5% in trichuriasis, 64.9% in taeniasis, and 100% in enterobiasis [2].
A randomized controlled trial of pyrantel and mebendazole in children with enterobiasis and concomitant ascariasis [3].

High impact information on Enterobiasis

Fenbendazole (Hoe 881) in enterobiasis [4].
Anthelmintic therapies for enterobiasis are successful and include mebendazole, albendazole and pyrantel pamoate [5].
