205 The pitta type has been identified as (acute) epididymo-orchitis, the kapha type as the chronic form of epididymo-orchitis; the type arising from fatty tissue is regarded as a filarial scrotum, and the type caused by blood as a haematocele (I.V.P. Rao and P.J. Deshpande, 1977). Singhal c.s. agree with these identifications, but wrongly identify the type arising from fatty tissue as haematocele, and the type arising from blood as a filarial scrotum. See on haematocele in India: N. Chevers (1886): 708, on swelling of the scrotum in filariasis: N. Chevers (1886): 263.
