Abstract:

In Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Region there have been reported 6 elephantiasis cases and ware suspected as filariasis. Elephantiasis is classified into two, namely filarial elephantiasis and nonfilarial elephantiasis. Filarial elephantiasis caused by lymphatic filarial worms infection and nonfilarial elephantiasis can be caused by podoconiosis, leprosy, tuberculosis, or chlamydia infection. The aim of the study was to ascertain whether elephantiasis cases are caused by filariasis. Activities carried out in the work area of the Bantul District Health Office in July 2016 i.e.: (1) patient location survey, (2) interviews with patients, their families, and surrounding communities, (3) examination of patients, and (4) observe the environment around the patient's residence to ensure existence of vector mosquito breeding places. This study found two people with elephantiasis, patients from Depok, Gilangharjo, Pandak, Bantul was suspected elephantiasis due to Brugia malayi infection. Patient from Cawan, Argodadi, Sedayu, Bantul was suspected elephantiasis due to podoconiosis. In Cawan found many breeding sites for the Anopheles vagus mosquito.

Abstract:

Elephantiasis (filariasis / elephantiasis) is still endemic in hundreds of districts in Indonesia and has become a health problem for the world community in accordance with the resolution of the World Health Assembly (WHA) in 1997. This is caused by Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes as one of many filariasis vectors found in urban areas (Gandahusada et al., 1998), while the number of filariasis chronic cases reported until 2009 was 11,914 cases. Filariasis / elephantiasisi is a chronic infectious disease caused by filarial worm infection transmitted by various types of mosquitoes in the lymph nodes, this disease is chronic (chronic) and if it does not get treatment can cause permanent disability in the form of enlargement of the legs, arms and genitals both women and men man. Rosmarin (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a multifunctional plant in Indonesia especially abroad, one of its benefits is as larvicides. Because rosmarin has a chemical compound, one of them is essential oil which has larvicidal effectiveness on Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae as vector filariasis (elephantiasis) Essential oil was obtained by distillation of fresh rosmarin leaves, then each extract was made with 1000 ppm stock solution and then made 6 series of concentration of 12.5 ppm to 300 ppm then tested on 20 larvae of instar III Culex quinquefasciatus, Observations were made after 24 hours and calculated LC90 uses an analysis of the orbit. The results obtained were only essential oils of Rosmarin leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) which had larvicidal activity against Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae, with LC90 182,9756 ppm.

Abstract:

Elephantiasis is caused by accumulation of lymph in soft tissues due to long standing lymphatic obstruction. Elephantiasis of female external genitalia is very rare and its association with limb elephantiasis is also quite very rare. A 20 years old, primigravida patient with 38 weeks’ gestation presented with massive swelling of lower limbs along with vulvar edema posted for emergency cesarean section diagnosed as elephantiasis of lower limbs and vulva which is usually rare and has not been reported yet. Elephantiasis in pregnancy poses difficulty for an anesthesiologist while providing neuraxial anesthesia to such a patient. We report the anesthetic management of a primigravida patient with both vulvar and lower limbs elephantiasis posted for emergency cesarean section.Journal of Society of Anesthesiologists of NepalVol. 4, No. 2, 2017, Page: 91-93

Abstract:

Genital elephantiasis is an important medical problem in the tropics. It usually affects young and productive age group, and is associated with physical disability and extreme mental anguish. The majority of cases are due to filariasis; however, a small but significant proportion of patients develop genital elephantiasis due to bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs), mainly lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and donovanosis. STI-related genital elephantiasis should be differentiated from elephantiasis due to other causes, including filariasis, tuberculosis, haematological malignancies, iatrogenic, or dermatological diseases. Laboratory investigations like microscopy of tissue smear and nucleic acid amplification test for donovanosis, and serology and polymerase chain reaction for LGV may help in the diagnosis, but in endemic areas, in the absence of laboratory facilities, diagnosis largely depends on clinical characteristics. The causative agent of LGV, Chlamydia trachomatis serovar L1–L3, is a lymphotropic organism which leads to the development of thrombolymphangitis and perilymphangitis, and lymphadenitis. Long-standing oedema, fibrosis and lymphogranulomatous infiltration result in the final picture of elephantiasis. Elephantiasis in donovanosis is mainly due to constriction of the lymphatics which are trapped in the chronic granulomatous inflammatory response generated by the causative agent, Calymmatobacterium (Klebsiella) granulomatis. The LGV-associated genital elephantiasis should be treated with a prolonged course of doxycycline given orally, while donovanosis should be treated with azithromycin or trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole combination given for a minimum of three weeks. Genital elephantiasis is not completely reversible with medical therapy alone and often needs to be reduced surgically.

Abstract:

Genital elephantiasis (esthiomene), which is the dramatic end-result of lymphatic obstruction, is rather rare. Although mainly associated with filariasis and sexually transmitted diseases, such as lymphogranuloma venereum and donovanosis, it could also be an uncommon complication of tubercular lymphadenitis, a common infection in tropical countries. We report a rare case of a 32-year-old Indian female in whom genital elephantiasis occurred as a complication of tubercular lymphadenitis.

Abstract:

Lymphangiectasia is a secondary phenomenon that results from obstruction of previously normal lymphatic systems leading to dilation of the lymphatic vessels. Its occurrence in women is very rare. We report the clinical case of vulvar lymphangiectasia observed in a patient seen in gynecological consultation. The symptomatology was dominated by the appearance of vulvar swelling that had been evolving for 6 months and gradually increased in volume; the patient benefited from an exploration assessment which came back in favor of vulvar lymphangiectasia and was referred to a dermatological consultation for further treatment.

Abstract:

Elephantiasis nostras verrucosa is a rare disorder that results from chronic obstructive lymphedema. It is characterized clinically by deforming, nonpitting edema; malodorous hyperkeratosis with generalized lichenification; cobblestoned papules; and verrucous changes, that often result in extreme enlargement of the involved body part. Although elephantiasis nostras verrucosa is striking in clinical appearance, biopsy reveals only moderately abnormal findings: pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with dilated lymphatic spaces in the dermis, accompanied by chronic inflammation and fibroblast proliferation. The term elephantiasis nostras (nostras means “from our region”) has traditionally been used to differentiate temperate zone disease from the classic disease process, elephantiasis tropica, which is defined by chronic filarial lymphatic obstruction caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, Wuchereria malayi, or Wuchereria pacifica. We present a case report of elephantiasis nostras verrucosa arising as a result of lymphedema praecox. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 98(1): 66–69, 2008)

Abstract:

Elephant foot disease or filariasis is a contagious disease caused by filarial worms that are transmitted through the type of mosquito. This disease is chronic and if not get treatment will result in permanent disability in the form of leg enlargement, genitals both women and men. Elephant foot disease is generally detected through blood microcopy examination. Until now it is still felt because microfilaria only appear in the blood at night for several hours (nocturnal perioicity). In addition, various methods of examination are also performed to diagnose elephantiasis diseases such as those known as membrane crawl, knott concentration method and deposition technique. This study identifies elephantiasis and its causes, and applies certainty factor methods and designs expert systems to diagnose elephantiasis. To diagnose elephantiasis by using certainty factor method. Patients will be given questions to obtain probable values and then the values obtained will be solved by certainty factor formulation, so that the diagnosis and percentage is likely to develop elephantiasis.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the cure of elephantiasis over a ten-year follow-up period and novel discoveries with directed occupational rehabilitation. A 66-year-old female patient with a history of bilateral lower limb lymphedema reported the aggravation of the condition over the years, reaching stage III (elephantiasis). The physical examination confirmed elephantiasis. The circumference of the left lower limb was 106 cm. Her body weight was 106 kilograms, height was 160 cm, and the body mass index (BMI) was 41.6 kg/m2. The patient was submitted to intensive treatment for three weeks, which led to a 21-kg reduction in weight and 66 cm reduction in leg circumference. Ten years after treatment, the patient has maintained the results with the compression stockings. Elephantiasis can be cured, although lymphedema cannot. The cure of elephantiasis depends on maintaining the treatment of lymphedema after normalization or near normalization. Directed occupational therapy stimulates the search for new activities and a life closer to normality.

Abstract:

Filariasis is an infectious disease caused by filarial worms if it is not fast, it will experience permanent disability, it occurs when a chronic condition occurs when the feet and hands become swollen, in that condition it is called elephantiasis (elephant leg). West Aceh Regency is one of the districts which has the highest number of filariasis cases, which continues to increase from 9 cases in 2015 to 15 cases in 2017. Many factors are suspected to be the cause of elephantiasis including knowledge, behavior, physical home environment, socialization of counseling to health workers. health literacy with the re-emergence of elephantiasis in West Aceh Regency in 2019. This study used a quantitative study to determine the risk of elephantiasis using Matched Case Control. The population of cases in this study were people who suffered from elephantiasis in the district of West Aceh. Given the population (N), namely patients with filariasis <100, the sample in this study was the total population using a ratio of 1: 3, so the number of samples in this study was 60 people consisting of 15 cases and 45 people as controls. The results showed that the disease re-emerged. Elephantiasis in West Aceh Regency in 2018 was related to health literacy (p = 0.003)

Abstract:

Swelling of the leg is a frequent finding in podiatric medicine. Unless the patient draws notice to the condition or the physician is diligent in asking questions and examining the extremity, the condition may be viewed as minor and given little attention. Swelling of the leg can be a clinical sign of certain systemic diseases, lymphatic and venous disorders, or other miscellaneous causes. Dermatologic consequences linked to many of these causes of swelling are well documented. What is not as well chronicled is a dramatic skin alteration associated with chronic lymphedema. This article provides an overview and a case presentation of the unusual and debilitating skin condition related to chronic lymphedema of the lower extremity known as elephantiasis nostras verrucosa.

Abstract:

Introduction. Elephantiasis is a chronic manifestation of filariasis; it commonly affects limbs, scrotum, and trunk. Females have lower incidence of filarial infection. Vulval elephantiasis due to filariasis is still rarer. It is difficult to make the diagnosis on histopathology alone, more so in view of the fact that the parasite is usually not identified in tissue sections. Identification of microfilariae in night samples of peripheral blood or seropositivity for filarial antigen is requisite for the correct diagnosis.Case Presentation. A young female presented with progressively increasing vulval swelling over a period of two years. The swelling was soft and measured5×6 cm. Other possible differential diagnoses were excluded, and ancillary tests were performed to reach a conclusive diagnosis of vulval elephantiasis on histopathology.Conclusion. Vulval elephantiasis due to filariasis is rare. Its diagnosis on histopathology is more often by exclusion. High index of suspicion on microscopic findings and corelation with relevant diagnostic tests are required to reach the correct diagnosis.

Abstract:

Abdominal elephantiasis is a rare entity. Abdominal elephantiasis is an uncommon, but deformative and progressive cutaneous disease caused by chronic lymphedema and recurrent streptococcal orStaphylococcusinfections of the abdominal wall. We present 3 cases of patients with morbid obesity who presented to our hospital with abdominal wall swelling, thickening, erythema, and pain. The abdominal wall and legs were edematous, with cobblestone-like, thickened, hyperpigmented, and fissured plaques on the abdomen. Two patients had localised areas of skin erythema, tenderness, and increased warmth. There was purulent drainage from the abdominal wall in one patient. They were managed with antibiotics with some initial improvement. Meticulous skin care and local keratolytic treatment for the lesions were initiated with limited success due to their late presentation. All three patients refused surgical therapy.Conclusion. Early diagnosis is important for the treatment of abdominal elephantiasis and prevention of complications.

Abstract:

Background: Elephantiasis is a well-known condition in dermatology usually affecting the legs and external genitalia. It is characterized by chronic inflammation and obstruction of the lymphatic channels and by hypertrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The etiology is either idiopathic or caused by a variety of conditions such as chronic filarial disease, leprosy, leishmaniasis, and chronic recurrent cellulites. ObjectiveElephantiasis of the abdominal wall is very rare. A complete review of the English and French literature showed only two cases reported in 1966 and 1973, respectively. We report a third case of abdominal elephantiasis and we briefly review this entity. Methods: We present the case of a 51-year-old woman who had progressively developed an enormous pediculated abdominal mass hanging down her knees. The skin was thickened, hyperpigmented, and fissured. She had a history of multiple abdominal cellulites. ResultsShe underwent an abdominal lipectomy. Histopathology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of abdominal elephantiasis. Conclusion: Abdominal elephantiasis is a rare disease that represents end-stage failure of lymph drainage. Lipectomy should be considered in the management of this condition.

Abstract:

Filariasis is a major public health hazard in tropical and subtropical countries and is endemic among the Indian population. Asymptomatic microfilariaemia, elephantiasis, acute adenolymphangitis, hydrocoele and chronic lymphatic disease are its common manifestations. We hereby report a case of microfilaria found in the bone marrow presenting as pancytopenia. There was no classical feature of elephantiasis or lymphoedema present.

Abstract:

Penoscrotal elephantiasis is a rare pathology outside filarial endemic areas. We report a case of primary penoscrotal elephantiasis in a 65-year-old patient, who was treated by complete surgical resection of the pathological tissue and penoscrotal reconstruction, with a good functional and aesthetic result. Complementary examinations and therapeutic options were analyzed through a review of the literature.
