Answer to Question 3

A
Indirect effects of therapy with diethylcarbamazine, such as itching and a rash, are the result of death of the parasite. These effects are transient. They are not direct effects of the drug. They do not indicate worsening of the infestation. They do not warrant discontinuation of the drug.
