Failure of ]onit (phenylene-diisothiocyanate-1,4) in the Treatment of Clonorchiasis

Abstract

Forty three cases of clonorchiasis were unsuccessfully treated with jonit in the total received doses ranging from 300 mg to L 200mg within various intervals. All patients passed eggs in the feces continuously. Therapeutic response of the patients to jonit was disappointing. jonit did not prove to be an effective chemotherapeutic agent in these groups of patients with clonorchiasis.
