Lymphatic Filariasis, Commonly Known As Elephantiasis
Lymphatic filariasis, commonly known as elephantiasis, is a neglected tropical disease. Infection occurs when filarial parasites are transmitted to humans through mosquitoes. Infection is usually acquired in childhood and causes hidden damage to the lymphatic system. |

Re: Lymphatic Filariasis, Commonly Known As Elephantiasis
There isn’t a vaccine or cure for lymphatic filariasis. Ivermectin and other anti-parasitic meds can kill many of the worms and keep the patient from spreading the infection to someone else. Patients usually are put on an annual regimen of chemo-therapy. Advanced treatment includes surgery.
