Mansonella perstans is a genus of filaria that is often asymptomatic or responsible for unspecific symptoms. M. perstans microfilariae are uncommon on cervicovaginal smears. Case. We report the case of a woman with pruritis and eosinophilia. Microfilariae of M. perstans were observed on both cervicovaginal and blood smears. The patient was successfully treated with a combined single dose of 400 mg of albendazole and ivermectin (150 μg/kg). Conclusion. We described here an atypical and rare localization of M. perstans. The routine examination of cervicovaginal smears of women admitted to Bobo-Dioulasso Hospital for screening of cervical neoplasia should allow us to determine the frequency of this parasitosis and propose appropriate treatment.
