    Author: Corachan M, Tura JM, Campo E, Soley M, Traveria A.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1988 Oct; 40(4):359-64. PubMed ID: 3227560.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of podoconiosis (endemic non-filarial elephantiasis of the lower legs) are described. Microcrystals were demonstrated in lymph node biopsies by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analysis techniques. The findings were compatible with the elements present in black lava soil and red clay soil, respectively.
