    AbstractFrom june 1985 to may 1986, 1.209 consulting patients were examined for filariae in skin and blood. Among patients with microfilariae 17% had associations of filarial infections. The multiple infections rate seemed more important in man than woman and increased with age. The results showed that associations were not due to chance only. The frequencies of associations between Dipetalonema perstans and Onchocerca volvulus at one hand, Dipetalonema perstans and Wuchereria bancrofti on the other hand were highly significant. Symptoms of filarial associations were studied and subsequent therapeutic attitude discussed.
