Loiasis is a tropical infection caused by the microfilarial nematode Loa loa. Increased numbers of cases of loiasis have been diagnosed outside of the endemic areas in Western and Central Africa because of widespread international travel. The author presents three cases of loiasis discovered at Howard University followed by a review of the literature.
