Human dirofilariasis is a rare infection in Malaysia. Thus far, only two human cases have been reported viz. Dirofilaria immitis and D. (Nochtiella) repens and in both instances, adult worms were recovered from infected patients. The two cases reported in the present study, one from Melaka and the other from Penang, were diagnosed histologically. Based on the diagnostic criteria for identifying Dirofilaria in tissue sections, the parasites were identified as D. (Nochtiella) repens.
人体丝虫病在马来西亚是一种罕见的感染病。迄今为止，仅报告了两例人体病例，即犬恶丝虫和匐行恶丝虫，且在这两例中，均从感染患者体内发现了成虫。本研究报告的两例病例，一例来自马六甲，另一例来自槟城，均通过组织学诊断。根据组织切片中丝虫的诊断标准，这些寄生虫被鉴定为匐行恶丝虫。
