AB Genital involvement of Dracunculus medinensis is uncommon, and when it does occur, it usually involves the scrotum. A case has been described in which the inguinal gland was involved producing a bubo simulating that caused by other commoner conditions. It is suggested that the microscopical examination of a wet preparation of bubo aspirates should routinely be practised, especially in tropical countries.
