Nine new cases of human Dirofilariasis by Dirofilaria repens, in subjects living in Apulia, aged 30 to 60 years, are reported. Six were subcutaneous and three subconjunctival. Many of them occurred a number of years ago and were identified thanks to a specific joint investigation carried out by a parasitologist, some histopathologists and ophthalmologists. Of special relevance is one subcutaneous case with contemporary presence of 2 nodules in different regions of the body (mamma and forearm) and another subconjuctival case with strong inflammatory reaction (episcleritis, chemosis, orbital cellulitis) associated with the passage of the nematode under the Tenon's capsule.
报告了9例居住在普利亚地区、年龄在30至60岁之间的人体感染匐行恶丝虫所致的丝虫病新病例。其中6例为皮下感染，3例为结膜下感染。许多病例发生在数年前，是通过寄生虫学家、一些组织病理学家和眼科医生进行的专项联合调查得以确诊的。特别值得关注的是1例皮下病例，在身体不同部位（乳房和前臂）同时出现2个结节；另1例结膜下病例伴有强烈炎症反应（巩膜炎、结膜水肿、眼眶蜂窝织炎），与线虫通过眼球筋膜囊有关。
