Re: Albendazole / Single dose Report

I think the article is reporting on using albendazole as a single dose for one day, and that's all. then follow up at 14 and 21 days to see how effective this one dose was.

the method they use to measure effectiveness is eggs in stool. I don't know this is the most reliable method to determine if infection is actually gone. considering I've had numerous tests like this, while teaming with parasites, and they always come back negative. according to them, I"m parasite free. so if they aren't catching it at all sometimes (often) then saying the egg rate was much reduced after using a drug...how does one know if it is truely reduced, or it's what happened to be caught (or not) in that sample on that day.

studies can sometimes appear to be making accurate conclusions, but all is not as it seems. the place to know how accurate results are is not in the title or conclusions. it's in the method. that's where you can see if the study is done in a way that supports what it claims.
