A case of human dirofilariasis with Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens, located in a subcutaneous nodule of the arch of the foot is reported in a 64-year-old man living in the surroundings of Porto Vecchio in Corsica. The histological examination of this nodule has revealed a gravid female nematode, dead some weeks or months before its surgical excision. It is the second case of human dirofilariasis observed in a patient living on the island. The authors are surprised by the number of patients reported in medical literature (10 altogether) as having contracted the infection probably during a short stay in Corsica. This paper seeks to collect the fragmented available data on the existence in Corsica of nematodes in dogs and its possible vectors.
报告了一例由匐行恶丝虫（Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens）引起的人体丝虫病病例，患者为一名64岁男性，居住在科西嘉岛韦基奥港周边地区，病灶位于足弓的一个皮下结节内。对该结节进行组织学检查发现，有一条妊娠雌线虫，在手术切除前数周或数月已死亡。这是该岛居民中观察到的第二例人体丝虫病病例。作者对医学文献中报告的（总共10例）可能在科西嘉岛短暂停留期间感染该病的患者数量感到惊讶。本文旨在收集关于科西嘉岛犬类体内线虫及其可能传播媒介存在情况的零散现有数据。
