Dirofilariosis is an endemic filarial parasitic disease in the Mediterranean basin, unfamiliar in France. Its incidence and geographic area are increasing due to global warming. Dogs and cats are the usual hosts, but humans may be accidentally infected. We reported the 91st case of French dirofilariosis, contracted in Camargue (South France) which appeared as a subcutaneous abdominal nodule. Ultrasound strongly guided the diagnosis by showing a linear structure moving in a fibrocystic structure. Surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis of species (Dirofilaria repens) and this remains the only curative treatment.
恶丝虫病是地中海盆地的一种地方性丝虫寄生虫病，在法国并不常见。由于全球变暖，其发病率和地理区域正在增加。狗和猫是常见宿主，但人类可能会意外感染。我们报告了第91例法国恶丝虫病病例，该病例在法国南部的卡马尔格感染，表现为腹部皮下结节。超声通过显示在纤维囊性结构中移动的线性结构有力地辅助了诊断。手术切除确诊了虫种（匐行恶丝虫），这仍然是唯一的治愈性治疗方法。
