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

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).

A 15-year-old boy with onchocerciasis had severe generalized pruritus of five months' duration. He had been born and raised in Ethiopia and had emigrated to Israel one year earlier. A biopsy specimen of an area of depigmentation on the right thigh disclosed microfilaria of Onchocerca volvulus in the dermis.

Approximately 90 per cent of these nodules were located in the pelvic region. 2. Microfilariae were demonstrated in 278 or 39.9 per cent of 696 Africans examined by both skin biopsy and scarification smears ...
