No, he told me there was no real way of finding out, (except surgery) and that X-rays/ultrasound might not really even be able to really tell anything unless it was advanced/really advance. I asked him about the the microfilaria load, and he said something like there are a fair amount, whatever that means, but He said that was no real indicator either as to the number of worms. He did describe his state as class 1, or stage 1, can’t remembrer. But I don’t even know how he could say that for sure without appropriate diagnostic tools. Just listening to his heart and lungs, I don’t know how.
