    Area of Science:

    • Tropical medicine
    • Parasitology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Sowda is a unilateral dermatitis associated with onchocerciasis in Yemen.
    • Yemeni onchocerciasis (Sowda) lymph node pathology is characterized by follicular hyperplasia.
    • Microfilariae are typically absent in Sowda lymph nodes, unlike in African onchocerciasis.

    Observation:

    • This report presents a case of Sowda in Yemen.
    • The case exhibited microfilariae within the regional lymph nodes.
    • This observation contrasts with established pathological findings in Sowda.

    Findings:

    • The presence of microfilariae in lymph nodes during Sowda is documented.
    • This finding challenges the previous understanding of Sowda lymph node pathology.
    • Lymph node microfilariae in Sowda were observed alongside follicular hyperplasia.

    Implications:

    • The presence of microfilariae in Sowda lymph nodes may indicate different disease mechanisms.
    • This finding could necessitate a re-evaluation of Sowda diagnosis and treatment strategies.
    • Understanding microfilarial presence in Sowda lymph nodes is crucial for differentiating it from other onchocerciasis forms.
