TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Antiparasitic Agents and Resistance A1 - Ryan, Kenneth J. Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Sherris Medical Microbiology, 7e AB - OverviewMost parasitic infections can be treated. Generally, drugs are effective against either protozoa or helminths, but not both. Some are well tolerated, while others are toxic or unpleasant for the patient. Antiparasitic resistance is a much more important issue in protozoan infections than helminth infections due to their more complex and slow life cycles. All providers should be familiar with the medications covered here. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1148677395 ER -
