Dreyer G, Noroes J, Figueredo-Silva J, Piessens WF. PATHOGENESIS OF LYMPHATIC DISEASE IN BANCROFTIAN FILARIASIS: A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE. Parasitol Today. 2000 Dec;16(12):544-8. ABSTRACT The pathogenesis of lymphatic filariasis has been a matter of debate for many decades. Here, Gerusa Dreyer and colleagues propose a dynamic model of bancroftian filariasis, integrating clinical, parasitological, surgical, therapeutic, ultrasonographic and histopathological data. This model has profound implications for filariasis control programs and the management of the individual patient. |
