Filariasis is known to medical science over many centuries. It is a disease of tropical countries due to the presence of microfilaria. The effected areas are large and elephantoid in appearance, so it is called 'Elephantiasis'. A non-parasitic form of Elephantiasis occurs when the lymphatics are blocked. In Ayurveda this disease is termed as Shlipada.
几个世纪以来,医学上就已熟知丝虫病。它是热带国家的一种疾病,由微丝蚴所致。受影响的区域很大,外观呈象皮状,因此被称为“象皮病”。当淋巴管受阻时,会出现一种非寄生性的象皮病。在阿育吠陀医学中,这种疾病被称为“Shlipada”。
