[Absence of response of Mansonella ozzardi microfilaria in the diethylcarbamazine provocation test].
One hundred and twelve inhabitants of an area endemic for M. ozzardi received 20 cmm capillary blood samples by finger prick before and 30 minutes after the ingestion of 100 mg of diethylcarbamazine citrate. No significant variations in microfilaremia were detected. Thus, a provocative dose of DEC would not appear to be helpful in sampling for mansonellosis in Haiti.
