[edit] Despite

Despite being treated by Hetrazen, i know of someone with elephantiasis whose condition is deteriorating over the years, and the infection is now spreading...what advise would any medical professional have?

[edit] Trivia section?=

This disease was mentioned in House episode Cursed when a concerned father surprisingly mentions it as a possible cause for his son's condition. Should a "trivia" section of some sort be added where this could be mentioned? --AlphaEtaPi 04:00, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

• • The video file linked is clearly a joke; I mean, just look at the url... I left it there though 'cause it's so funny!

--Not all filarial worms are transmitted by malaria, you've mentioned 'Onchocerca volvulus' - transmitted by blackfly. (Cambridge University student)

[edit] Reverted

I just reverted the recentmost edit which added an entire article copied from another website, concerning a 'cure' found in India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vijeth (talk • contribs) 15:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
