Arch Intern Med. 1983;143(7):1477-1479.

Abstract

• A patient with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritisand renal dysfunction caused by Schistosoma mansoni was treatedwith oxamniquine. High levels of circulating immunocomplexesreturned to normal following treatment, although renal functionfor the long term was unchanged. Specific antischistosomal therapymay be of partial benefit to patients with this disease.
