Loiasis - Generics

Loiasis, also known as African eye worm, is a parasitic infection caused by the filarial worm Loa loa, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected deer flies or mango flies.

The symptoms of loiasis can include:

  • Itching and swelling around the bite site
  • Migration of the worm under the skin, which can be visible as a moving lump or worm-shaped swelling
  • Eye involvement, which can cause redness, tearing, and sensitivity to light
  • Joint pain and muscle pain
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Fever

Most people who are infected with Loa loa do not experience any symptoms, or only experience mild symptoms. However, in rare cases, the infection can cause serious complications such as encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain.

Treatment for loiasis may involve medications such as diethylcarbamazine (DEC) or albendazole. However, treatment may need to be carefully managed in individuals with high levels of Loa loa infection due to the risk of severe reactions. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the worm.

Prevention of loiasis involves taking precautions to avoid being bitten by deer flies or mango flies, such as using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak fly activity times. If you suspect you have been bitten by an infected fly and are experiencing symptoms of loiasis, it's important to seek medical attention right away.
