Recent advances in podoconiosis

Pages 377-382 | Published online: 18 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

In terms of either research or public-health policy, podoconiosis, a non-infectious form of elephantiasis, has received little attention since the 1980s. The aim of this narrative review is to examine the results of the relevant research published in the past 2 years, in the context of the data from earlier investigations. The review concludes by indicating areas in which further investigation is necessary before robust intervention strategies, to reduce the public-health burden posed by podoconiosis, can be devised.
