An article is presented discussing the results of studies conducted to assess the efficiency of a mass drug administration of albendazole and diethylcarbamazine in children with filariasis from Tamil Nadu, India. The mass drug administration substantially reduced blood Wuchereria bancrofti antigen prevalence in young children but had a lower response in youths.
