The pathological changes in the lung, liver and lymph-nodes of typical cases of tropical pulmonary eosinophilia are described.Microfilariae have been demonstrated in the centre of nodules in each of these tissues, suggesting that direct invasion by these organisms is the cause of the lesion in this disease.
