| Popis: | Background Wuchereria bancrofti has been found in almost every tissue except the liver. Case Microfilariae were found in a hemangioma of the liver on fine needle aspiration in a 40-year-old female with pyrexia associated with hepatomegaly and a peripheral blood smear negative for microfilariae. Conclusion Absence of microfilariae in a peripheral blood smear does not exclude filarial infection. |
