Filariasis (Shlipada).
Abstract
Filariasis is known to medical science over many centuries. It is a disease of tropical countries due to the presence of microfilaria. The effected areas are large and elephantoid in appearance, so it is called 'Elephantiasis'. A non-parasitic form of Elephantiasis occurs when the lymphatics are blocked. In Ayurveda this disease is termed as Shlipada.
