Abstract :

 Wuchereria bancrofti is the most common parasite causing lymphatic filariasis.  Microfilariae are dem­onstrated in the peripheral blood, body fluids, fine needle aspirates and in onchial ushings but it is an uncommon finding in the bone marrow.  We report a case of a 45-year old male who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin and on peripheral blood and bone marrow examination found to have pan­cytopaenia with megaloblastoid changes in the  bone marrow and W. bancrofti microfilariae
