Answers:
STOP answering medical questions if you don't know what you are talking about!!
I believe you are asking about Elephantiasis, or lymphatic filariasis is a parasitic disease spread by mosquitos. It can be debilitating, and disfiguring, but is rarely fatal.
It can cause recurring infections, fevers, severe inflammation of the lymphatic system, and tropical pulmonary eosinophilia (TPE). In about 5% of infected persons, elephantiasis causes the legs to become grossly swollen. This can lead to severe disfigurement, decreased mobility, and long-term disability. Testicular hydrocele is a disfiguring enlargement of the scrotum. This is often treated with surgery.

Other Answers:
Yes, permanant, Generally, fatal.
Though there are only a few cases recorded, most infants die within the first year.
