In a study carried out in Jakarta, Indonesia between 1969--1977, patients with clinical manifestations of filariasis were examined for microfilaremia. Finger blood (3 X 20 microliter) were examined by conventional methods, venous blood by membrane filtration, urine and hydrocele fluid by concentration methods. A total of 1,422 patients were examined and 182 (12.8%) were positive by blood smear; however, examination by membrane filtration and concentration of urine and hydrocele fluid did not appreciably increase the association between clinical manifestations and Wuchereria bancrofti infection. Approximately 16% of the patients without patent infection were indirectly associated with filariasis, since they co-habitated with persons with microfilaremia. Results of these studies showed that more than 60% of the patients were without patent infection. Factors that may be responsible for these findings are briefly discussed.
1969年至1977年期间在印度尼西亚雅加达开展的一项研究中，对有丝虫病临床表现的患者进行了微丝蚴血症检测。采用传统方法检查手指血（3×20微升），采用膜过滤法检查静脉血，采用浓缩法检查尿液和鞘膜积液。共检查了1422名患者，182名（12.8%）血液涂片呈阳性；然而，通过膜过滤以及尿液和鞘膜积液浓缩法检查并未显著增加临床表现与班氏吴策线虫感染之间的关联。约16%无显性感染的患者与丝虫病存在间接关联，因为他们与有微丝蚴血症的人同居。这些研究结果表明，超过60%的患者无显性感染。文中简要讨论了可能导致这些结果的因素。
