He was taken to the operative suite by Dr. Lin for an emergent irrigation and debridement. He tolerated this very well. He was admitted overnight for antibiotic coverage, and discharged with instructions to weight bear as tolerated with the use of a hinged knee brace and walker.

Mr. C’s laboratory values need to be stabilized, body temperature and pulse rate decreased, blood pressure increased, weaned of the oxygen by nasal cannula an increase his urine output.

There is no vaccine or cure for lymphatic filariasis. Diethylcarbamazine (DEC), Albendazole and Ivermectine are drugs used for people seeking prevention or already suffer from Lymphatic Filariasis. The treatment help reduce microfilariae in human. People diagnosed with the disease require taking DEC for a long period of time. The medication can kill adult worms slowly. People at risk of getting the disease take the medication annually such as Albendazole 400 mg combined with Ivermectin 200 mcg for every kg of body weight, or take Diethylcarbamazine citrate ( DEC) 6mg/ kg. Dosage is taken three times a day for three weeks annually for five years. This is a method of prevention for non-infected individuals. For people that already have signs

The adaptive immune response is antigen-specific and requires the recognition of specific “non-self” antigens during a process called antigen presentation. Antigen specificity allows for the generation of responses that are tailored to specific pathogens or pathogen-infected cells. The ability to mount these tailored responses is maintained in the body by "memory cells". Should a pathogen infect the body more than once, these specific memory cells are used to quickly eliminate it. so basically killer T cells will identify antigens present on foreign cells. These antigens are not found in any of the cells inside our body. So T cells will identify them and kill them.
