"The Production of a Typical Calabar Swelling in a Loa Patient by Injection of a Dirofilaria Antigen, and Some Comments on the Nature of Calabar Swellings" published on Sep 1930 by The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
Summary 1. Groups of microfilariae aggregate in the spleen of some cases of Filaria loa infection. 2. These areas of localization are associated with an inflammatory reaction and fibrosis. 3. A tissue eosinophilia accompanies the filarial inflammation. 4. These reactions in the spleen may be analogous to the external chronic Calabar swellings.
