Issue Date: | 2006 | Journal: | Emerging Infectious Diseases | Abstract: | Of 788 recent African adult immigrants to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 213 (27.0%) had eosinophilia. The most frequent causes were filariasis (29.4%), schistosomiasis (17.2%), and hookworm infection (16.8%). Stool microscopy and filarial and schistosomal serologic tests gave the highest diagnostic yield. Country of origin and eosinophil count were associated with specific diagnoses. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/48025 | ISSN: | 1080-6040 | DOI: | 10.3201/eid1210.060102 | Source: | Emerging Infectious Diseases [ISSN 1080-6040], v. 12(10), p. 1587-1589 (Octubre 2006) |
