Subcutaneous Human Dirofilariasis is an uncommon zoonotic infection caused by Dirofilariarepens. The reports of this infection in humans in India are limited, although increasingly being reported worldwide. We report a case of Dirofilariasis with subcutaneous presentation from the state of Meghalaya and to emphasize the importance of considering this entity in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with subcutaneous nodules.
皮下人恶丝虫病是一种由匐行恶丝虫引起的罕见人畜共患感染。尽管全球范围内关于这种感染在人类中的报道日益增多，但在印度关于人类感染的报道却很有限。我们报告了一例来自梅加拉亚邦的具有皮下表现的恶丝虫病病例，并强调在对出现皮下结节的患者进行鉴别诊断时考虑这一疾病的重要性。
