A Dirofilaria tenuis subcutaneous nodule was found in the supraorbital area of a 77-year-old woman living in Miami Beach. Removal of this nodule revealed the worm and confirmed the diagnosis. Infection with Dirofilaria tenuis is most common in southern Florida because of the high incidence of these worms in their natural hosts--raccoons and opossums.
在居住于迈阿密海滩的一名77岁女性的眶上区域发现了一个细尾丝虫皮下结节。切除该结节后发现了虫体并确诊。由于细尾丝虫在其自然宿主——浣熊和负鼠中的高发病率，佛罗里达州南部感染细尾丝虫最为常见。
