Chyluria is a result of the lymphatic rupture and fluid entering the urine in infections caused by W. bancrofti. The urine appears milky white. The resulting infection and changes in the skin may increase bacterial infections. W. bancrofti causes Bancroftian filariasis and elephantiasis, which is a crippling condition that is a result of extended periods of filarial infection. The adult worm resides in the lymphatic vessels distal to the lymph nodes. The obstruction of the lymphatic ves-sels results in fibrosis and a proliferation of dermal and connective tissue, resulting in the wrin-kled, dry appearance of an "elephant" extremity. Lymphedema may also occur in the arms, fe-male breasts, and scrotum of infected men.
