Efficacy of 400 mg albendazole against soil‐transmitted helminthes among Salgy Primary School Children, Dembia district, Northwest Ethiopia, 2020. “Uncontrolled experimental study”

Soil-transmitted helminths are one of the most prevalent causes of both intellectual and physical disability in the world. Albendazole (ALB) is a drug recommended for mass treatment of the high burden of soil-transmitted helminths in schoolchildren, particularly in developing countries. However, some researchers have reported that the efficacy of albedazole against soil-transmitted helminths is inconsistent. Monitoring the programs is crucial to evaluating the effectiveness of 400 mg of ALB against soil-transmitted helminths, as well as any changes in its therapeutic efficacy. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate ALB effectiveness in treating soil-transmitted helminthes in Salgy Primary School Children.
