[Effects of a unique dose of mebendazole on microfilaremia in 50 carriers of microfilaria of Wuchereria bancrofti, pacifica variety].

Treatment by Mebendazol were given to 50 patients divided in 3 groups, the first on having s single dose of 200 mg., the second one a single dose of 300 mg. and the last one a single dose of 400 mg. There was practically no unpleasant side effect. We noticed a delayed but notable effect on microfilaremia sensibly lower than diethylcarbamazine action in similar conditions. It would be interesting to try heavier doses or iterative doses.

The prognostic value of head nodules and microfilariae in the skin in relation to ocular onchocerciasis.

The examination of 250 cases of onchocerciasis from the Sudan-savanna of northern Cameroon showed a strong association between microfilarial invasion of the eye and microfilarial skin concentrations at the outer canthus. It was also shown that the presence of a head nodule was associated with a high microfilarial skin concentration around the eye. It is suggested that these findings are of practical importance in the field for the early detection of cases at risk of developing serious ocular lesions.
