Two migrant workers from north India have tested positive for elephantiasis.
As more than 80 migrant workers from northern States, all working with various private companies here, live at L. R. Nagar under the South Zone of Thoothukudi Corporation, the urban local body had organised a medical camp recently for them. The medical teams screened the workers for COVID-19, diabetes, hypertension and lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis).

The procedure of endoscopic removal of stone and blockage from the bile duct, followed by placement of Common Bile Duct (CBD) stent, widely practised in leading medical institutions and private hospitals, was performed for the first time at Government Thoothukudi Medical College and Hospital on a 10-year-old girl.
