Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Lymphatic Filariasis:
At first, most people
don't know they have lymphatic filariasis. They usually don't feel any
symptoms until after the adult worms die. The disease usually is not life
threatening, but it can permanently damage your lymph system and kidneys.
Because your lymph system does not work right, fluid collects and causes
swelling in the arms, breasts legs, and, for men, the genital area. The
name for this swelling is lymphedema (lim-FA-de-ma). The entire leg, arm,
or genital area may swell to several times its normal size. Also, the
swelling and the decreased function of the lymph system make it difficult
for your body to fight germs and infections. You will have more bacterial
infections in your skin and lymph system. This causes hardening and
thickening of the skin, which is called elephantiasis
(el-la-FAN-tie-ah-sis). (Source: excerpt from Lymphatic Filariasis: DPD)
