A bit of a guess here, but Loa loa??
I agree Loa loa - Scott
Could it be Strongyloidiasis.
From: Mayo New England
I see rouleax formation..... BW from VT
I agree,what's up with the massive rouleaux-ing? And the worm's just gross, but loa loa also came to mind.
Should the list of possibilities be expanded to include Wuchereria and Mansonella?
