HYMENOLEPIS NANA

Hello,

My 19 months ols son is diagnozed with hymenolepis nana. He was treated with nitazoxanide and after one month his funny stools are back. I tested his stool 10 times and he showed negative to this parasite.
Does anybody has more experience with this???
Thank YOU...........
Irena

I checked that and my dr says that ivermectin has no effect on tapeworms...How sure are you on that? Did you have a case? Is Hymenolepis nana lifetreatining?
