How Are Helminth Infections Diagnosed and Treated?
Diagnosis of helminth infections typically involves the examination of stool samples to identify eggs or larvae. Serological tests and imaging techniques may also be used for certain types of helminths. Treatment usually involves the administration of anthelmintic drugs such as albendazole, mebendazole, or praziquantel. These medications are effective in reducing the worm burden and alleviating symptoms.
