Summary

This study tested whether combining two drugs (moxidectin and albendazole) works better than the standard single drug for treating whipworm infections in children aged 6-12. The trial involved 224 children in Tanzania and measured how many were cured and how much the infection reduced. The goal is to find a more effective treatment for this common intestinal parasite.
