Loaiasis was seen in an African student in Indiana [USA], who had non-specific complaints, a leukocyte count of 8400/mm3, a 47% eosinophilia and a high L. loa [eye-worm] microfilaremia. Successful treatment with diethylcarbamazine (Hetrazan) produced no allergic manifestations and no reactions to the adult parasites were evident.
