TREATMENT OF SPECIFIK FORM OF AMEBIASIS

A. ASYMPTOMATIC INTESTINAL INFECTION Asymptomatic carriers generally are not treated in

endemic areas but in nonendemic area they are treated with luminal amebicides

A tissue amebicides drug is unnecessary. Standard luminal amebicides are diloxanide furoate, iodoquinol, and paramomycin. Therapy with luminal amebicides is also require in all other forms of amebiasis

B.AMEBIC COLITIS

• Metronidazole plus a luminal amebicide is the treatment of choice for colitis and dycentry

• Tetracyclines and erythromycin are alternative drugs for moderate colitis but are not effective against extraintestinal disease. Dehydroemetine or emetinne can also be used, but these agents are best avoided, because of their toxicity

C.EXTRINTESTINAL INFECTIONS

The treatment of choice is metronidazole plus a luminal amebicide. A 10-day course of metronidazole cures over 95% of uncomplicated liver abscesses. For unusual cases where initial therapy with metronidazole has failed, aspiration of the abscess and the addition of chloroquine to a repeat course of metronidazole should be considered. Dehydroemetine and emetine are toxic alternative drugs.

METRONIDAZOLE

• Metronidazole nitroimidazole is the drug of choice for the treatment of extraluminal amebicides. It kills trophozoites but not cyst of E.hystolytica and effectively erradicates intestinal and extraintestinal tissues

Chemistry and Pharmacokinetics

• Absorbed after oral adminitration permeates all tissues by simple diffusion. Low binding with protein. The drug and its metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine

Mechanism of Action

• The nitro group of metronidazole is chemically reduced in anaerobic bacteria and sensitive protozoans.

• Reactive reduction products appear to be responsible for antimicrobial activity.

Clinical uses

1. Amebiasis2. Giardiasis3. Trichomoniasis

D. Adverse Effects and Cautions

• Nausea, headache, dry mouth, or metallic taste occurs commonly.

• Infrequent adverse effects include and vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia, weakness, dizziness, thrush, rash, dysuria, dark urine, vertigo, paresthesia,and neutropenia. Taking the drugs with meals lessens git irritation

• The rare effects pancreatitis, severe CNS toxicity

• Metronidazole has a disulfiram-like effect, so that nausea and vomiting can occur if alcohol ingested during therapy. The drug should be used with caution in patients with CNS disease.

• Metronidazole has been reported to potentiate the anticoagulant effect of coumarin-type anticoagulant.

IODOQUINOL

• Iodoquinol (iodohydroxyquin) is a halogenated hydroxyquinoline. The MOA of iodoquinol against trophozoites is unknown.

• It is an effective luminal amebicide. But not against trophozaotes in the intestinal wall or extraintestinal tissues.

Infrequent adverse effects include diarrhea, which usually stop after several days-anorexia, nausea,vomitus, abdominal pain, headache, rash, and pruritus.

DILOXANIDE FUROATE

• Diloxanide furoate is a dichloroacetamide derivate. It as an effective luminal amebicide but si not active against tissue trophozoites.

• In the gut diloxanide furoate is split into diloxanide and furoic acid, about 90% of the diloxanide is absorbed.

The unabsorbedis active antiamebic substance. The MOA of diloxanide furoate is unknown. It is usedwith a tissue amebicide, usually metronidazole to treat serious inestinal and extraintestinal infection.

SIDE EFFECTS: Flatulence Nausea RashCONTRAINDICATION: Pregnancy

EMETINE & DEHYDROEMETINE

• Emetin is an alkaloid derived from ipecac, and dehydroemetine, synhhetic analog, are effective against tissue trophozoites of hystolytica. The drug administered parenterally because oral preparation are absorbed erraticaly.

• Dehydroemetine is preffered over emetine because of its somewhat better toxicity profile

• ROA: S.C or I.M but never intravenously. Because of

adverse effects it should not be used more than 10 days.

Serious side effect is cardiac arrythmias, heart failure, and hypertension.

CONTRAINDICATION:1. Cardiac disease2. Renal disease3. Young children4. Pregnancy

Pentamidine • Has been used since 1940 as an alternative to

suramin.• The drug can be used with suramin• Pentamidine should not be used to treat late

trypanosomiasis with CNS involvement• DOSE: 2-4 mg/kg daily or on alternate days for a

NITAZOXANIDE

• Nitozoxanide appears to have activity against metronidazole resistent protozo al strains and is well tolerated.

• Free of mutagen effect (not as metronidazole)• Other suceptible to, nitazoxanide:• E.hystolytica, H.pylori, A.lumbricoides, several

tapeworms, and F. hepatica
