Podoconiosis, non-filarial elephantiasis, and lymphology.
Lymphology, 2011Several recent reviews of podoconiosis already exist in journals and on public access websites. After briefly covering the historical and epidemiological background, this narrative review will therefore attempt explicitly to link podoconiosis with lymphology, examining gaps in what is known of pathogenesis and identifying the areas of research in which

Nodular subepidermal fibrosis in non-filarial endemic elephantiasis of the legs
British Journal of Dermatology, 1973SUMMARY Nodular subepidermal fibrosis is a common complication of non-filarial elephantiasis of the lower legs. It occurs in the ‘rubbery’ type of elephantiasis only. The sites of predilection correspond to areas exposed to microtraumata; the sole and the leg above the ankle are never involved by nodulation. The microscopic appearances are described.

Homeopathy for Elephantiasis and Filarial Complications
Lymphatic filariasis, a mosquito-borne parasitic disease caused mainly by Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi, is a leading cause of chronic disability in tropical regions. Conventional pharmacotherapy eliminates microfilariae but rarely reverses the chronic lymphatic obstruction and tissue fibrosis responsible for elephantiasis.openaire +1 more source

The treatment of filarial elephantiasis of the leg by bandaging
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1938Abstract 1. 1. Prolonged firm bandaging effects a gradual removal of the lymphoedema in filarial elephantiasis of the leg; the patient gets prompt symptomatic relief from his discomfort and recurrent attacks of lymphangitis cease. 2. 2. Two outpatient methods of bandaging are described: the smaller legs are treated with the bandage boot—a ...
