Filariasis presenting with bicytopenia, progressive splenomegaly and acute renal failure: An unusual case report.

Extra-lymphatic manifestation of filariasis, especially as acute renal failure, is uncommon and may be clinically unsuspected. We document the case of a 60 year old elderly male who presented with bilateral pedal oedema, fatigue and abdominal distension. Investigations revealed severe anaemia, splenomegaly and acute renal failure.
