Abstract
A volunteer who had been previously exposed to infection with filarial infections from naturally infected animals, i.e., Brugia malayi from Macaca irus and B. pahangi from a domestic cat, was exposed to infection with B. malayi from man. He developed signs and symptoms of tropical pulmonary eosinophilia and transitory swellings of the lower limbs, possibly of filarial origin. Up to the time of treatment with Banocide no microfilariae were found in his blood.
