FILARIAL HEMATURIA MASQUERADING AS THE BLADDER TUMOR: A RARE CASE REPORT
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
A diagnosis of filarial hematuria without features of lymphatic filariasis can be difficult to make due to the absence of microfilaria in the urine in the majority of cases. This is even more difficult when the patient presents with gross or microscopic hematuria without chyluria. Apart from endemic areas such as India, filariasis does occur in different parts of the world. We report a rare case of gross painless hematuria in a 58 yrs old patient with the presence of Wuchereria bancrofti microfilariae in the urine.
