Although Sierra Leone lies within the worldwide filarial belt, chyluria (the passage of milky coloured urine) is a rare presenting symptom in clinical practice. This report describes a confirmed case of parasitic filariasis presenting in a 72-year-old woman. After treatment with a combination of ivermectin and albendazole, her symptoms resolved within 48 h and she was symptom free at 6 months.
尽管塞拉利昂位于全球丝虫病流行带内,但乳糜尿(排出乳白色尿液)在临床实践中是一种罕见的症状表现。本报告描述了一名72岁女性确诊为寄生性丝虫病的病例。经伊维菌素和阿苯达唑联合治疗后,她的症状在48小时内得到缓解,6个月时症状消失。
