Isotope Studies in Intestinal Capillariasis.
Abstract
The protein catabolism and gastrointestinal losses of protein in ten patients with capillariasis were measured before and after treatment with thiobendazole for three weeks. The ratio gastrointestinal loss to catabolism was calculated together with other parameters in order to correlate with earlier studies (Waldman et al, 1969; Kerr et al, 1967). In general the losses were reduced by treatment with Mintazol. Vitamin B12 absorption was also determined with intrinsic factor and was found to improve with this treatment method (Callender et al, 1954).
