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

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).
