Nitazoxanide for treating cryptosporidium infection in children
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a medicine called nitazoxanide to treat cryptosporidium, a germ that can cause diarrhea in children. If your child tests positive for this germ, the treatment may help clear the infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have tested positive for cryptosporidium using a stool test (even if they don't have diarrhea right now).
- Your family plans to stay in the area for the next 6 months.
- Your child must not have a known allergy to nitazoxanide.
- Your child cannot be taking warfarin, a blood-thinning medicine.
