- Title
Light Microscopic Detection of Mansonella ozzardi Parasitemias.
- Authors
Crainey, James Lee; Luz, Sérgio Luiz Bessa
- Abstract
The authors comment on a case report of an incidental finding of Mansonella ozzardi microfilariae by light microscopy at x100 magnification. They clarify that M. ozzardi microfilariae are not shown at x100 magnification and that the greatest challenge in diagnosing M. ozzardi microfilaremias is discriminating them from M. perstans. Thus they suggest polymerase chain reaction- (PCR) based diagnostic techniques for definitive filarial parasite identification.
