Hemorrhagic Pericardial Effusion In Filariasis An Uncommon Presentation Of Filariasis
View through CrossRef
Filariasis is a common healthcare problem in Tropical countries caused by nematodes of the order Filariidae. Typical clinical manifestations include a subclinical syndrome, Acute adenolymphangitis (ADL), Filarial fever (characterized by fever without associated adenitis) and Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia (TPE). Unusual manifestations include a subcutaneous nodule, filariasis of breast, lymphadenovarix in the axilla and others. Massive hemorrhagic pericardial effusion due to Filariasis is rare. Diethylcarbamazine is the treatment of choice. JMS 2016; 19(1):26-28
