摘要

人丝虫病是一种罕见的由丝虫属丝虫引起的感染。人类可能作为异常（偶然）宿主被感染，主要是由白氏Dirofilaria repens和Imitis感染。印度报告的大多数病例是眼部dirofilasis，少数报告是皮下dirofilasia。我们在此报告一例来自阿萨姆邦的63岁男性患者的颈部受人皮下dirofilasis影响的病例。该病例表明，这种感染在阿萨姆邦是一种潜在的新出现的人畜共患疾病，通过监测可以发现更多此类病例。

Human subcutaneous dirofilariasis: A diagnostic dilemma.

Human dirofilariasis is a rare infection caused by filarial worms of genus Dirofilaria. Humans may be infected as aberrant (accidental) hosts, mainly by Dirofilaria repens and Dirofilaria immitis. Most of the cases reported in India are of ocular dirofilariasis, with a few reports on subcutaneous dirofilariasis. We hereby report one such case of human subcutaneous dirofilariasis affecting the neck region of a 63-year male patient from Assam. This case indicates that this infection is a potentially emerging zoonosis in Assam and there is scope of finding more such cases with surveillance.
