Two patients with loiasis in whom treatment with diethylcarbamazine had to be interrupted because of serious side effects underwent apheresis to extract microfilarias from the blood. After three apheresis sessions the number of microfilarias in the blood had dropped from 8980 to 3412/ml in one patient and from 2950 to 1840/ml in the other. Between 40 and 45 X 10(6) microfilarias were removed from each of the patients. After reduction of the parasitaemia the two patients were given diethylcarbamazine; no appreciable side effects occurred, and the patients were cured.
两名罗阿丝虫病患者因严重副作用而不得不中断乙胺嗪治疗,他们接受了血液成分单采术以从血液中提取微丝蚴。经过三次血液成分单采术后,一名患者血液中的微丝蚴数量从8980/ml降至3412/ml,另一名患者从2950/ml降至1840/ml。每名患者每次清除40至45×10⁶条微丝蚴。在寄生虫血症减轻后,这两名患者接受了乙胺嗪治疗;未出现明显副作用,患者被治愈。
