NCT02850913
Nodding syndrome (NS) is a devastating neurologic disorder affecting thousands of children in Africa. A number of toxic, nutritional, infectious, para-infectious and environmental causes have been studied but the only consistent association has been with infection by the parasite Onchocerca volvulus. There is no specific treatment for NS and also for the adult onchocerca. However, antibiotic depletion of the Onchocerca volvulus co-symbiotic bacteria Wolbachia with tetracyclines such as doxycycline results in sterilisation and premature death of the adult worm and marked reductions in dermal microfilaria density. Potentially, such therapy that kills adult onchocerca volvulus may improve the outcome of NS if the association were true.
