Painful, fluctuant subcutaneous swellings on the limbs of a dog were attributed to infection with Dracunculus insignis. The diagnosis was obtained by finding larvae in fluid aspirated from the swellings and by identification of the adult female nematodes after they were surgically removed. Six weeks after initial examination, another adult nematode was removed from the subcutaneous tissues of the thorax. Although uncommon, D insignis infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous swellings.
一只狗四肢上出现疼痛性、波动性皮下肿胀，病因被认为是感染了麦地那龙线虫。通过从肿胀处抽取的液体中发现幼虫以及在手术取出成年雌性线虫后进行鉴定来确诊。初次检查六周后，又从胸部皮下组织中取出一条成年线虫。尽管不常见，但在皮下肿胀的鉴别诊断中应考虑麦地那龙线虫感染。
