Kwarteng A, et al. - In order to assess the prevalence and seasonal differences (rainy/wet and dry seasons) of acute filarial attacks, researchers conducted this cross-sectional study of 142 (70.4% females and 29.6% males) lymphedema patients recruited from eight established Wuchereria bancrofti endemic communities in the Ahanta West District, Ghana. They tested the association between frequency of attacks and seasonality using Chi-square test. It was found that 97 (68.3%) of the study participants had filarial attacks during the wet season, 36 (25.4%) during both seasons (wet and dry), and 9 (6.3%) did not experience any attack at all. Findings suggested a link between an increase of the frequency and prevalence of filarial attacks with the wet season.
