Loiasis is a filarial disease endemic to areas of Central and West Africa. We present a case of Loa loa microfilaremia in a patient with HTLV-1-related adult T-cell lymphoma. This case may suggest the possible role of cellular immunity in controlling microfilaria burden.
罗阿丝虫病是一种在中非和西非地区流行的丝虫病。我们报告了一例患有与人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒1型(HTLV-1)相关的成人T细胞淋巴瘤患者的罗阿丝虫微丝蚴血症病例。该病例可能提示细胞免疫在控制微丝蚴负荷方面的潜在作用。
