[Pulmonary involvement with a favorable course during Loa loa filariasis].
We report a case of pulmonary infiltrate in filariasis due to Loa loa in a 52 years old patient, living in Cameroon. Antifilarial treatment with ivermectin then diethylcarbamazine led to a rapid resoluting of the pulmonary abnormalities. It is the fifth case of lung disease during filariasis Loa loa.
