AB OverviewMost  parasitic  infections  can  be  treated.  Generally,  drugs  are  effective  against  either  protozoa  or  helminths,  but  not  both.  Some  are  well  tolerated,  while  others  are  toxic  or  unpleasant  for  the  patient.  Antiparasitic  resistance  is  a  much  more  important  issue  in  protozoan  infections  than  helminth  infections  due  to  their  more  complex  and  slow  life  cycles.  All  providers  should  be  familiar  with  the  medications  covered  here.
