Abstract:
Extralymphatic filarial disease has varied clinical manifestations and is largely underestimated worldwide. We report an autopsy case of extralymphatic filarial disease with coronary and pulmonary circulations being involved and causing sudden death. Such an isolated event is, perhaps, rare and has not been reported so far to the best of our knowledge. Microfilaremia on autopsy may be easily missed or overlooked due to unawareness. The present report emphasizes the importance of extensive careful scrutiny of autopsy sections.
