علاج داء اللوا العرضي مع حمل ميكروفيلاري ≥8,000 ميكروفيلاريا لكل مل من الدم

References

• Symptomatic loiasis, with MF/mL ≥8,000
• In those patients with microfilarial loads ≥8,000 microfilariae per mL, apheresis can be used in specialized centers to reduce the load below the 8,000 threshold prior to beginning treatment.
• There are some data available that suggest treating the patient with albendazole, 200mg twice daily for 21 days, may reduce the microfilarial load to acceptable levels.
• Re-measurement of levels after albendazole treatment would be required prior to treatment with DEC.
