Lymphatic Filariasis Elephantiasis Package - Book at an Affordable Cost

Lymphatic filariasis, also known aselephantiasis, is a parasitic infection caused by thread-like worms called filarial worms that are transmitted by mosquitoes. The infection is characterized by swelling and enlargement of the limbs, breasts, and genitals, leading to a condition known as elephantiasis.

Symptoms of lymphatic filariasis can take years to develop and may include fever, lymph node swelling, and skin rashes. In severe cases, the infection can cause permanent damage to the lymphatic system, leading to disfigurement and disability.

Diagnosis of lymphatic filariasis can be made through laboratory testing of blood samples, although the tests may not always be accurate in the early stages of infection. Treatment typically involves a course of medications, such as diethylcarbamazine (DEC) or ivermectin, which can kill adult worms and reduce the severity of symptoms.
