A 26-year-old man presents with scrotal pain, swelling, and a strange finding on ultrasound. What Parasitic Infection could be the cause?
A 26-year-old man presented to the outpatient clinic with a 1-month history of pain and swelling in the scrotum and low-grade fevers. On examination, there was swelling and tenderness of the right side of the scrotum. Laboratory studies showed peripheral eosinophilia. An ultrasound of the scrotum showed echogenic, linear structures moving within the lymphatic channels (arrowhead) adjacent to the epididymal head and testis (asterisk) — a finding known as “filarial dance sign.” What vector is responsible for transmitting the nematode causing this disease?
What is the most likely diagnosis?
Filarial Dance Sign, Lymphatic Filariasis, Mosquito, Urology, Wuchereria bancrofti
