TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Antiparasitic Agents and Resistance A1 - Ryan, Kenneth J. Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Sherris & Ryan's Medical Microbiology, 8th Edition 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 the worms’ 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 - 2024/04/18 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1185635173 ER -
