I need help please!...
A friend of my has a serious problem. He suffers from dhiarrea since four
months ago. His physician detected after an analysis Dentamoeba Fragilis
Trophozoites and Blastocystis Hominus.
The amoebas were eliminated with yodoxin (3 weeks) treatment but not the
Blastocystis Hominus (a biologist, friend of him, told him that it was a
new parasite and cure have not found yet. Normaly the organism eliminate
this parasit).
Could some body tell me if it is true?.
After yodoxin treatment, his physician indicate him:
Metronidazole 1000 mg daily (2 weeks). This treatment does not work
either to eliminate the Blastocystis.
Actualy he has the follow treatment (two weeks after the treatment
before ends):
Metronidazole 1500 mg daily (during 2 weeks).
Questions:
1) Is the Metronidazole the apropiate mendicament for Blastocystis Hominus?.
2) Is the apropiate doses?.
3) What could be the damage provocated by this parasit (blastocystis
Hominus)?.
Could some body send me information about this parasit (Blastocystis
Hominus), tratment for eliminate it and sintomatology?
Thanks in advance for your help.
