Mansonella perstans causing symptomatic hypereosinophilia in a missionary family.

Christoph A Fux1, Bernard Chappuis, Benedikt Holzer, Christoph Aebi, Gerard Bordmann, Hanspeter Marti, Christoph Hatz.   

Abstract

Mansonella perstans is rarely pathogenic. The rare reports of symptomatic cases, however, include severe complications. Three cases of symptomatic hypereosinophilia with multi-organ involvement are described in a missionary family returning from tropical Africa. Pathogenicity may be related to the induction of hypereosinophilia rather than direct host-parasite interactions.
