Therapeutic efficacy of albendazole against soil-transmitted helminthiasis in children measured by five diagnostic methods.

<h4>Background</h4>Preventive chemotherapy (PC) with benzimidazole drugs is the backbone of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) control programs. Over the past decade, drug coverage has increased and with it, the possibility of developing anthelmintic resistance. It is therefore of utmost im...
