Abstract
Abstract
Loaiasis was seen in an African student in Indiana, who had non-specific complaints, a leukocyte count of 8,400/mm3, a 47% eosinophilia, and a high Loa loa microfilaremia. Successful treatment with diethylcarbamazine (Hetrazan®) produced no allergic manifestations and no reactions to the adult parasites were evident.
