Abstract
The case is presented on a paediatric patient previously diagnosed with T-cell anaplastic large cell lymphoma. As part of the evaluation before the second cycle B chemotherapy, a peripheral blood smear was performed, in which were found microfilaria, identified as Mansonella ozzardi. The treatment was a single dose of ivermectin, with a negative result being obtained at 24Â hours. The patient is currently asymptomatic and with no evidence of recurrence of the parasitaemia, and able to finish the cancer treatment.
