ABSTRACT
A study was undertaken to explore the feasibility of treatment of clinical cases of filariasis by the Village Health Guides (VHG) and to assess the impact of different dose schedules by Diethylcarbamazine (DEC) on the frequency of acute attacks. It was observed that six days treatment with DEC at a dose of 500 mg daily was the most effective regimen in controlling recurrence of filarial attacks. The VHGs can serve the community in treating filarial cases with DEC.
