The prevalences of intestinal helminthic infections in the Putra Utama, Muslimin and Van der Steur orphanages were respectively as follows: a lumbricoides 70.0%, 76.6% and 50.8%, T. trichiura 78.0% 93.6% and 70.5%, hookworm 20.0%, 12.7% and 3.2% and E. vermicularis 34.0% 29.8%, 59.0%. Treatment with Trivexan (100 mg of pyrantel pamoate and 150 mg of mebendazole), one tablet as a single daily dose for 3 consecutive days resulted in cure rates for A. lumbricoides 96.0%, 100% for T. trichiura 78.0%, 80.9% and 86.9% for hookworm 98.0%, 100% and 100% and for E. vermicularis 82.3% 92.9% and 97.2%.
