In a recent epidemiological study on onchocerciasis on the lower Jos Plateau in Nigeria, a 7-month-old baby delivered by a mother suffering from onchocerciasis showed early clinical signs of the disease: pruritus was present all over the body. The infant's skin snip on incubation revealed microfilariae of Onchocerca volvulus. These findings were confirmed 3 months later when the child was re-examined. No onchocercal nodule was found, but pruritus persisted.
