Abstract

Filariasis continues to be one of the endemic problems worldwide with 40% of the cases in India. We report a case of lymphatic filariasis in a 32-year old female who presented with a non-tender swelling over left upper arm. Blood sample showed no eosinophilia while the FNAC was diagnostic of W. bancrofti. Patient responded well with oral diethylcarbamazine. High index of suspicion of filariasis is indicated when dealing with a swelling of unknown cause especially in filariasis endemic areas.

摘要

丝虫病仍然是全球地方性疾病问题之一，印度有40%的病例。我们报告一例32岁女性淋巴丝虫病病例，该患者左上臂出现无痛性肿胀。血液样本未显示嗜酸性粒细胞增多，而细针穿刺抽吸活检确诊为班氏吴策线虫。患者口服乙胺嗪后反应良好。在处理病因不明的肿胀时，尤其是在丝虫病流行地区，应高度怀疑丝虫病。
