Аннотация
A cross-sectional survey was undertaken to determine the prevalence of disease due to lymphatic filariasis in Khurda district of Orissa, India. The total disease attributable to filariasis was significantly higher in males (14.79%) than females (10.04%). However, elephantiasis is more prevalent in females, and adenolymphangitis is more prevalent in males than their counterparts. The prevalences of various forms of the disease are age dependent in both sexes. About one-seventh of men and women of higher age groups suffered from chronic debilitation forms of the disease. The study suggests that overt clinical forms of lymphatic filariasis constitute a major public health problem in the study area.
