Abstract：
Dirofilariasis is a zoonotic infection transmitted by several species of mosquitoes. A 16-year-old boy presented with forearm swelling of two months duration. Imaging studies revealed a parasitic cyst. Surgical excision of the lesion was performed, and pharmacotherapy with diethylcarbamazine was given. A histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of human subcutaneous dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria repens. Clinicians should consider similar infections, especially in light of current climate changes and the emergence of various zoonoses. The epidemiological impact of diagnosing and preventing similar zoonotic infections is invaluable.
摘要：
丝虫病是由几种蚊子传播的人畜共患感染。一个16岁的男孩出现了持续两个月的前臂肿胀。影像学检查显示寄生虫囊肿。对病灶进行了手术切除，并给予二乙基卡巴嗪药物治疗。组织病理学检查证实了由Dirofilariarepens引起的人皮下双丝虫病的诊断。临床医生应该考虑类似的感染，特别是鉴于当前的气候变化和各种人畜共患病的出现。诊断和预防类似的人畜共患感染的流行病学影响是非常宝贵的。
