[Complex therapy of chronic viral hepatitis, occurring in combination with opisthorchosis].

AIM: To design and substantiate an effective combined therapy scheme for patients with chronic viral hepatitis (CVH) and chronic opisthorchiasis (CO).

MATERIAL AND

METHODS

10 patients with CHB and 12 patients with CHB + C in the presence of CO. All the patients have undergone clinical and device examinations before the treatment and in the course of therapy with biltricide and reaferon.

RESULTS

Patients with CVH at the stage of moderate activity and in the phase of virus replication received antihelminthic therapy with biltricide which caused neither complications nor deterioration, antihelminthic effect was observed in 20 of 22 patients. In a month, the patients started on reaferon given for therapy of hepatitis. As a result, all the patients improved clinically with normalization of biochemical blood parameters. Markers of viral hepatitides disappeared in 17 of 22 patients.

CONCLUSION

Combined therapy of CVH in active process in the presence of CO may include antihelminthic and antiviral treatment and should be staged.
