• Dizziness

  Splitting praziquantel 40 mg/kg into two doses over 12 hours probably has no benefits over a single dose, and in a single trial of 220 participants the split dose caused more vomiting ( RR 0.5, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.86) and dizziness ( RR 0.39, 95% CI 0.16 [cochrane.org]

Praziquantel is the treatment of choice for Schistosoma haematobium infection in the United States. However, trichlorfon may be the preferred treatment in areas of endemic disease where praziquantel is too expensive. [nejm.org]

What is the prognosis (outcome) for schistosomiasis? Early antiparasitic treatment, especially with acute schistosomiasis, may allow people to recover completely without developing chronic disease. [medicinenet.com]

If someone is also infected with malaria, HIV, or hepatitis, there is a worse prognosis. Can schistosomiasis be prevented? People who travel to areas affected by schistosomiasis should avoid exposure to fresh water that is likely to be contaminated. [patient.info]
