摘要

令人尴尬的事实是，非洲对血吸虫病的有效公共卫生控制尚未提供全面的干预措施，对感染活动性和/或潜伏性疾病的学龄前儿童和婴儿进行适当的驱虫治疗。在过去十年中，尽管儿童吡喹酮联盟在开发单对映体口服分散片方面取得了稳步进展，但未来的挑战仍然是确保其大规模部署和实施。本评论为国际社会提供了前瞻性的批评，提醒我们注意这种不幸的治疗差距，并寻求鼓励采取相应的行动来改善这种被忽视的医疗不平等。

Schistosomiasis treatment in young children: a welcome step towards deployment of the paediatric praziquantel formulation.

It is an awkward fact that effective public health control of schistosomiasis in Africa has yet to deliver a fully comprehensive intervention for appropriate anthelmintic treatment of those preschool-age children and infants with active infection(s) and/or insidious disease. Over the last decade, despite the steady progress of the Pediatric Praziquantel Consortium in developing a monoenantiomeric oral dispersible tablet, future challenges remain in securing its deployment and implementation at scale. This commentary provides a forward-looking critique for the international community, reminding us of this unfortunate treatment gap, and seeks to encourage commensurate action on ameliorating this overlooked medical inequity.
