Abstract

Human dirofilariasis caused by infection with Dirofilaria worms has been frequently reported. The symptoms associated with infection by these filarial parasites, which are transmitted to humans by zooanthropophilic mosquitoes, are characterized by mainly pulmonary and subcutaneous nodules. Here, we report the first case in Vietnam of a subcutaneous dirofilariasis with a painful nodule in the right eyelid. An immature female worm was removed by excisional biopsy and identified as Dirofilaria repens by histology and DNA analysis.
