Onchocerciasis is a parasitic disease with blinding consequences infecting approximately 18 million persons worldwide. In hyperendemic areas, nearly half the population are likely to become blind before they die. Blindness reduces the life expectancy of those affected and has an enormous socioeconomic impact on these communities. Ivermectin, given as a

Onchocerciasis is a devastating blinding disease caused by the parasite Onchocerca volvulus that infects about 80 million people, causing blindness and visual impairment in 1-2 million people. In hyperendemic areas, more than half of the population will become blind from onchocerciasis before they die.

Onchocerciasis ('river blindness') has for several centuries been the scourge of people living in certain areas of the world where the disease is endemic. The treatment available up to 10 years ago, diethylcarbamazine, had very severe secondary effects.

Gynaecomastia in onchocerciasis
The Lancet, 1997Many clinical manifestations of onchocerciasis have been described, but we have not seen any reports of gynaecomastia. We are involved in a field study looking at the impact of ivermectin on oncho-dermatitis in hyperendemic communities, and found gynaecomastia in 63 of 301 men examined before being given ivermectin (figure).
