Abstract
AbstractLymphatic filariasis (LF) is the world's most disabling and disfiguring diseases affects the persons making incapacitated or disfigured. This article presents a new solution for the early detection of LF. In vitro blood analysis is made based on the dielectric properties at microwave frequencies using rectangular cavity perturbation technique at the S‐band with the different samples of blood obtained from healthy donors as well as from patients suffering from filariasis. It is noticed that an appreciably change in the dielectric properties of patient samples with the normal healthy samples and this measurements were in good agreement with clinical analysis. This measurement technique is simple and suggests a new novel alternative in‐vitro method of diagnosing LF using microwaves and is completely independent of time unlike the traditional method diagnosis. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
