podoconiosis การใช้

Radiology can help distinguish between podoconiosis and mycetoma if the diagnosis is questionable.
Additionally, the edema of podoconiosis is typically more striking and extends more proximally than the edema of mycetoma.
Also known as " Mossy Foot ", podoconiosis is a form of elephantiasis that affects the lymphatic system of the lower legs.
If a clinical distinction between podoconiosis and filariasis can not be made based on history and examination alone, blood smears and ELISA antigen testing can be useful to screen for filariasis.
Compression wrapping and decongestive physiotherapy of the affected extremity has been shown to be effective in other forms of lymphedema, but the benefits of these therapies have not been rigorously studied in podoconiosis.
