ABSTRACT
Infections with Mansonella perstans are common in certain parts of Africa and South America. There is no standard treatment at present. We evaluated the effect of a single high dose of ivermectin (600 micrograms/kg) on microfilaraemia in 7 consecutive patients. No decrease in microfilarial counts could be demonstrated after a follow-up period of 7-56 d.
