Human dirofilariasis is a type of zoonotic infection caused by the Dirofilarial species. It is a type of roundworm which is commonly seen in dogs, cats and is transmitted to humans by mosquito bite. Microfilaria is rarely produced in humans. Although clinically they can have varied presentations, it usually presents as ocular or subcutaneous nodules. Definitive diagnosis requires histopathological findings of this worm. We hereby report three cases of Dirofilariasis from a tertiary care hospital in Wayanad.
人犬恶丝虫病是一种由犬恶丝虫属引起的人畜共患感染。它是一种常见于狗、猫的蛔虫，通过蚊子叮咬传播给人类。微丝蚴在人类中很少产生。虽然临床上它们的表现可能有所不同，但通常表现为眼部或皮下结节。明确诊断需要这种蠕虫的组织病理学发现。我们在此报告来自韦恩纳德一家三级护理医院的三例犬恶丝虫病。
