Abstract

An immature female worm, Dirofilaria immitis, was isolated from the scrotum of a 14-month-old child. This is the first identification of human dirofilariosis caused by D. immitis in a relatively Northern region (Moscow) of the Russian Federation. The parasite was diagnosed by means of morphological examination of the worm, confirmed by PCR assay. This case raises questions about the range of the D. immitis distribution among humans in Russia. To better understand the geographical distribution of dirofilarioses, detailed clinical and epidemiological information should be collected from human cases with appropriate laboratory confirmation.

摘要

从一名14个月大儿童的阴囊中分离出一条未成熟的雌性犬恶丝虫。这是在俄罗斯联邦相对北部地区（莫斯科）首次鉴定出由犬恶丝虫引起的人体丝虫病。通过对虫体进行形态学检查诊断出该寄生虫，并通过聚合酶链反应检测加以证实。该病例引发了关于犬恶丝虫在俄罗斯人群中分布范围的疑问。为了更好地了解丝虫病的地理分布，应从经适当实验室确诊的人类病例中收集详细的临床和流行病学信息。
