in negative antigenaemics (mean—33.50+7.73 years) than high aniigenaemia patients (mean— 25.0+5.13 years). Duration of lym-pllOCdema was higher significantly in negative vs. high antigenaemia pa- ticnts (mean— 13.31*5.86 & 6.43+2.07 years respectively) duration of acute dermato-lymphangio-adenitis (ADLA) was not significantly different between thc groups. There was significant ncgaLive trend between grade of lym-phocdcma and antigen titre. Antigen Litrc was significantly higher in micro-filaraemics (mean—O.805åO.049) than amicrofilaraemics (mean — 0.339 + 0.137). Thcrc was positive significant between the following; age of patients and grade af lymphoe-dcma; age . and extension of lym-phocderna; age and duration of lym-phoedema; age and number of ADLA attacks/year; grade and extension of Ivmphoedema; grade and duration of lymphoedema; grade of lymphoedema nd number of ADLA attacks/year; extension and duration of lymphoe-dema; extension and number of ADLA attacks,; duration of lymphoedema and number of ADLA attacks and heftyeen eosinophil count and antigen Lilre. Negative significant correlations were detected between antigerv titrc and the following, age, grade of lym-phocdcma, extension of lymphoedema and duration of lymphoedema. Nega-tive correlation also was found be-tween eosinophil count and grade of lymphoedema.
