• Swelling

  Additional steps may be taken to lessen the effects of swelling. [dovemed.com]

  When lymphatic filariasis develops into chronic conditions, it leads to lymphoedema (tissue swelling) or elephantiasis (skin/tissue thickening) of limbs and hydrocele (scrotal swelling). [cdc.gov.tw]

  FNAC from the swelling yielded purulent material along with a creamy white thread. [jcytol.org]

  Treatment consists of: 1) medicine to kill circulating larvae and adult worms, 2) soap and water and skin care to prevent secondary infections, and 3) elevation, exercises, and, in some cases, pressure bandages to reduce swelling. [web.archive.org]

• Weakness

  There was one instance of a child having an initial “weak positive” result by ICT that, upon repeat testing, was found to be negative. [journals.plos.org]

  This included weak IgG4 reactivities demonstrated by L. loa - and O. volvulus -infected patients tested with Ov- Bm R1 and Ll- Bm R1 (or Bm R1). [filariajournal.biomedcentral.com]
