Article Synopsis
- In a study from August 1997, 124 out of 1,110 individuals were found to be seropositive for a specific filarial antigen, CFA, and categorized into three groups based on their symptoms and treatment.
- After four years, follow-up results showed a significant decrease in microfilaraemia prevalence, especially in treated groups (G1 and G2), but symptomatic cases still emerged among the previously asymptomatic individuals.
- The study concluded that while treatment reduced filaria prevalence, longer intervention efforts are necessary to fully eliminate the disease and prevent new cases from arising.

Article Synopsis
- A study examined the presence of anti-Toxoplasma antibodies in 34 patients with uveitis and 20 healthy controls, revealing a 26.5% overall positive rate.
- The prevalence of antibodies was significantly higher in patients with posterior uveitis (42.9%) compared to anterior uveitis (7.1%) and healthy controls (10%), suggesting Toxoplasma's significant role in posterior uveitis.
- About 14.4% of seropositive uveitis cases were linked to primarily acquired Toxoplasma infection, indicated by higher antibody levels in IFAT tests compared to IHAT tests.
