• 2.  The objective residuals of infection in 87 cases of filariasis in veterans consist of lymph node enlargement in all cases, especially axillary. Rarely, slight swelling of the affected limbs was demonstrable.
• 3.  The subjective symptoms were complaints of dull pain and swelling of the affected parts after exertion, and anxiety related to the genital organs. The patients were not exercised so that it is possible that some of the complaints concerning swelling may have a foundation in fact.
