Loiasis – Eine extrem vernachlässigte Tropenerkrankung
Flugmedizin Tropenmedizin Reisemedizin, 2023ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Rund 10–15 Mio. Menschen in Zentral- und Westafrika sind mit der Filarie Loa loa infiziert. Obwohl die assoziierte Krankheitslast vergleichbar mit wichtigen Tropenkrankheiten wie der Schistosomiasis ist, gilt die Loaisis bisher als extrem

Lancet. Infectious Diseases (Print), 2022Loiasis, also called African eye worm, is not currently on WHO's list of priority neglected tropical diseases, even though the risk that individuals with high Loa loa microfilarial densities will develop potentially fatal encephalopathy when they take ...

Summary Calcifications in the hands of 3 patients with loiasis are recorded and are compatible with calcification of dead adult worms. This finding would appear to be more common than the literature suggests, but at the moment has little practical significance. A second type of calcification is seen which has a less certain explanation.

Pulmonary Involvement in Loiasis
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1992A 40-yr-old West African man presented acutely with pleural effusion. Cytologic evaluation of the pleural fluid revealed Loa loa microfilariae. No additional etiology for the pleural effusion could be identified, and antifilarial treatment with diethylcarbamazine led to a rapid resolution of the patient's symptoms and pulmonary abnormalities.

The filarial parasite Loa loa is transmitted by Chrysops fly bites. Loiasis is endemic in rainforest areas of West and Central Africa, and sporadic cases have also been diagnosed in travellers and migrants. Whilst many infected persons are asymptomatic, microfilariae may be detected in the blood or adult worms may be seen under the skin or the sclera ...

A patient with a filarial infection due to Loa loa and renal failure was treated with a modified regimen of diethylcarbamazine while receiving hemodialysis. Infection with Loa loa may be associated with glomerulonephritis due to immunologically mediated injury.

Surgical Management of Conjunctival Loiasis
Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2008An increase in world travel has resulted in the appearance of tropical and third-world diseases in nonendemic locations. We report a case from New York City of an adult African eye worm, Loa loa, and the technique of its paralysis and removal from the epibulbar conjunctiva.

Loiasis in an American Naturalist
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1983In March 1981, a 32-year-old male naturalist involved with collecting mammals for study was found to have an unexpected eosinophilia. Serum parasitic screening done at the Centers for Disease Control showed filarial titer by indirect hemagglutination of 1:1,024 and of 1:40 by bentonite flocculation.
