Abstract

Pekalongan city is endemic for filariasis. Filariasis Mass Drug Administration (MDA) implemented to decrease
filariasis endemicity in Pekalongan. It was started in 2011, but in the Pabean Village has started implementing in 2009.
The study aimed to determine filariasis condition after MDA. A descriptive study with cross sectional design was
conducted in Pabean village, North Pekalongan Sub-district, Pekalongan city. Finger Blood Filariasis slide and
medication status of those who had filariasis MDA in 2011-2013 were examined. Finger Blood Filariasis slide of 519

Microfilariae density accounted for 229.02 per ml of blood and only one species of filarial worms found as Wuchereria
bancrofti. Respondents who received the drug in 2011, 2012, and 2013 increased (80.02 %, 90.75 %, 92.68 %
respectively), but respondents who were taking medication decreased (63.01 %, 60.89 %, and 55. 88 % respectively).
