Chyluria due to lymphatic filariasis: case report and review.

Filariasis, with chyluria and nephrotic range proteinuria.

Filariasis and traumatic chyluria as displayed by lymphangiography.

INTRODUCTION Chyluria is the presence of chyle in the urine, giving it a milky appearance. Chyle is the milky fluid taken up by the lacteals from the food in the intestine after digestion. It consists of lymph and emulsified fat that passes into the thoracic duct and subclavian veins. When there is extravasation of chyle into the thorax, it is called chylothorax and in the abdomen, chylous asci...

Extralymphatic disease due to bancroftian filariasis.

Infection with Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, or B. timori not only affects the structure and function of lymphatic vessels but is also associated with extralymphatic pathology and disease. Because it is now possible to detect living adult worms by ultrasonography, much emphasis is placed on lymphatic pathology. However, the finding of renal damage in asymptomatic microfilaremic carriers ...

Methylene Blue Is Effective to Reverse Refractory Hemodynamic Instability due to Dimethoate Poisoning

Background:Organophosphates are commercially available agrochemicals for pest control, but may be abused for deliberate self-poisoning. We report a case of suicidal ingestion of dimethoate, a moderately toxic organophosphate insecticide, which can cause refractory hemodynamic instability, and the successful use of methylene blue (MB) for counteracting this complication. Case Presentation: An u...
