From: A Framework for Decision-Making for Mass Distribution of Mectizan® in Areas Endemic for Loa loa
Conceptual framework for current and alternative approaches to minimizing risks and maximizing benefits of mass treatment with Mectizan® in areas suspected of being co-endemic for onchocerciasis and loiasis. Implementation of training, surveillance, and supportive care, indicated in shaded boxes, are assumed to reduce the risk of death associated with SAEs. + indicates the condition indicated -indicates the absence of the condition.
