| Comments: | This 60-year-old man with filariasis for 25 years experienced progressive lymphedema of the right leg. Filariasis is a chronic filarial infection caused by Wucheria bancrofti, a thin round worm which frequently infects humans in the tropics. Bancroft discovered Wucheria bancrofti in 1876. His first report on this was in the form of a letter to Thomas Spencer Cobbold (1828-1886), who published it in The Lancet (1877, 2: 70-71) and coined the term bancrofti. | ||||
