背景:沃尔巴克氏体属内共生体的丝虫的线虫幼虫发育和成年蛔虫生育能力和生存能力至关重要。这种寄生虫的重要依赖生存的细菌提供了一个新的方法来治疗丝虫病用抗生素。我们使用这一策略调查的影响强力霉素治疗淋巴丝虫病的主要原因,班氏丝虫。方法:我们进行了一项双盲,随机,安慰剂对照现场试验的强力霉素(每天200毫克)8周的72人感染了W丝虫从Kimang村,潘加尼河、坦桑尼亚。参与者被随机分配块随机接受胶囊的强力霉素(n = 34)或安慰剂(n = 38)。我们评估治疗疗效通过监测microfilaraemia, antigenaemia,成虫的超声波检测。后续评估在5、8、11、14个月后治疗的开始。分析每一个协议。发现:一个人的强力霉素组死于艾滋病毒感染。5(强力霉素)和11(安慰剂)个人缺席时超声分析。 Doxycycline treatment almost completely eliminated microfilaraemia at 8-14 months' follow-up (for all timepoints p<0.001). Ultrasonography detected adult worms in only six (22%) of 27 individuals treated with doxycycline compared with 24 (88%) of 27 with placebo at 14 months after the start of treatment (p<0.0001). At the same timepoint, filarial antigenaemia in the doxycycline group fell to about half of that before treatment (p=0.015). Adverse events were few and mild. INTERPRETATION: An 8-week course of doxycycline is a safe and well-tolerated treatment for lymphatic filariasis with significant activity against adult worms and microfilaraemia.
