Abstract
• A patient with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and renal dysfunction caused by Schistosoma mansoni was treated with oxamniquine. High levels of circulating immunocomplexes returned to normal following treatment, although renal function for the long term was unchanged. Specific antischistosomal therapy may be of partial benefit to patients with this disease. (Arch Intern Med 1983;143:1477-1479)This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
