Affected persons will have more bacterial infections in the skin and lymph system. Men can develop hydrocele or swelling of the scrotum due to infection with one of the species of parasites that causes LF, specifically W. Bancrofti. Filarial infection can also cause tropical pulmonary eosinophilia syndrome.
