Lymphatic filariasis is an uncommon condition in Hong Kong and is currently considered as one of the neglected tropical diseases by the World Health Organization. Blood tests are available for diagnosis of acute infections, but false negative results can occur with chronic manifestations of lymphatic filariasis. We present a case which illustrates how radiological imaging can help with diagnosis of lymphatic filariasis.

Lymphoscintigraphy is an established modality for imaging the lymphatic system using radiocolloids and is routinely indicated to find the cause of limb lymphedema. However, in this case series, we are highlighting other less-known indications of lymphoscintigraphy like chylothorax and chyluria which present as lymphatic leaks in the thorax and abdomen, respectively. Once the site of the lymphatic leak is established by lymphoscintigraphy, definitive management like thoracic duct ligation or sclerotherapy can be done.

Microfilarial parasites can obstruct the lymphatic tree giving rise to varying lymphatic and extra-lymphatic symptoms. Renal manifestations can range from asymptomatic proteinuria, chyluria, and nephrotic syndrome, to acute glomerulonephritis. The diagnosis of filariasis is usually made by the demonstration of the parasite in the peripheral blood smear, with or without eosinophilia.

Chyluria, an abnormal lymphatic disorder, results in excessive abdominal lymph drainage into the urinary system, causing protein loss, nutritional deficiencies, and immune issues. Mainly linked to parasitic infections in developed countries, non-parasitic causes like trauma or tumors are rare. Typically appearing in adults with bilateral involvement, management options include conservative or surgical approaches.
