We present a case of subcutaneous dirofilariasis, a vector-borne zoonotic disease, in a young woman from Austria. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound and histology of the excised subcutaneous nodule. The parasite species was identified as Dirofilaria repens by polymerase chain reaction. We expect to see more cases of human dirofilariasis also due to climate change and associated increase of the spectrum of suitable mosquito vectors.
我们报告了一例来自奥地利的年轻女性皮下犬恶丝虫病，这是一种由媒介传播的人畜共患病。通过切除的皮下结节的超声和组织学检查确诊。聚合酶链反应鉴定寄生虫种类为犬恶丝虫。我们预计也会因为气候变化以及相关的适宜蚊子媒介范围的增加而看到更多的人类犬恶丝虫病病例。
