ABSTRACT
Zoonotic filariasis due to Dirofilaria repens is prevalent in several regions of the world. Human dirofilariasis due to D. repens has not been widely recognized in India, but few cases reported from some parts of India. Dirofilaria species are commonly encountered in the subcutaneous tissue of dogs, foxes, and cats and it can accidentally infect humans. Here, we report a case of subcutaneous dirofilariasis, presenting as a subcutaneous nodule on the right leg of a 25-year old female from Vidarbha region.
