Acute Attacks Sample Clauses

Acute Attacks. There are two distinct forms of acute attacks associated with LF. Acute filarial lymphangitis (AFL) appears as a cord-like structure associated with retrograde lymphangitis in the limbs [7], involving the presence of a circumscribed inflammatory nodule or cord in the arms, legs, or breast centered on adult worms in a lymphatic tissue [6]. These attacks spread in an ascending fashion and are rarely accompanied by systemic symptoms. It is hypothesized that AFL is of filarial origin [6]. Episodes of adenolymphangitis (ADL) or acute dermatolymphangioadenitis are characterized by systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, myalgia, and headache [7]. Inflammatory plaques of the edematous area are frequent. ADL episodes are often accompanied or followed by distal edema of the effected leg [6]. Scientific evidence has shown that ADL episodes lead to the progression of chronic lymphedema [8-11]. For the purposes of this dissertation, we will be focusing on episodes of ADL. Xxxxxxxxxx, mention of an acute episode refers to an episode of ADL unless otherwise noted.
