Diethylcarbamazine Therapy in Tropical Eosinophilia [PDF]

BMJ, 1960
Recently diethylcarbamazine has shown promising results in the treatment of tropical eosinophilia. The drug was used for the first time in this ailment by Ganatra and Lewis (1955). Since then reports have appeared in the literature showing that it is safe, and as effective as arsenic, in the treatment of the condition. Chaudhuri (1956) used daily doses

Diethylcarbamazine and Non-Diethylcarbamazine Related Bancroftian Granuloma: An Immunohistochemical Study of Eosinophil Toxic Proteins

International Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
It has been suggested, mostly using in vitro experiments, that defenses against parasites involve mainly activated eosinophils and their toxic proteins, such as major basic protein (MBP), eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO).
