A 65-year-old man consulted for a discomfort in the right eye that had suddenly appeared the evening before. The examination revealed a white worm localized under the temporal bulbar conjunctiva. After extraction, the parasitological characteristics identified the worm as Dirofilaria repens (Nochtiella subgenus). This is a parasite of canids and felids, usually nonpathogenic to humans, but which can be transmitted through mosquito bites, especially around the Mediterranean basin. The simple extraction of the worm, encysted under the skin or under the conjunctiva, cures the patient.
一名65岁男性因右眼不适前来就诊，该症状于前一晚突然出现。检查发现一条白色蠕虫位于颞侧球结膜下方。取出后，寄生虫学特征鉴定该蠕虫为匐行恶丝虫（诺氏亚属）。这是一种犬科和猫科动物的寄生虫，通常对人类无致病性，但可通过蚊虫叮咬传播，尤其是在地中海盆地周边地区。将包囊在皮肤或结膜下的蠕虫简单取出即可治愈患者。
