Many patients have nonspecific symptoms like of cystitis/headache/ limbpain etc. have incidentally have eosinoplillia in routine blood picture and improved by DEC . commonly trade name as hetrazan.
if the patient has filarisis or cerebral toxocariasis zou risk evere adverse advents. So don t give it just on suspicion!
best wishes Joachim Ro\ichter
We already rule out other parasitic infection by routine blood stool and other brainscans
Due to some unknown allergic causes Eosinophils can be elevated. It is difficult to find exact cause of eosinophilia in some cases. If AEC is high more than 500 then we can give hetrazan for 21 days.
as dr nayyar suggest we used to follow same protocol, but we don't get any clear reference that at how much level of eosinophill we have to start hetrazan , if we have no exact etiology for that.kindly suggest reference .thank you.
