[Conjunctival dirofilariasis, a case discovered in the Kairouan region]. / Dirofilariose sous conjonctivale à propos d'un cas découvert dans la région de Kairouan.

A case of conjunctival dirofilariasis was reported in a 55 years old patient, from Kairouan. The human dirofilariasis comes always and only from animals. In most cases, the dirofilariasis is localised under the skin; the ocular localisation of the disease is rare or exceptional. The authors discuss the epidemiology and describe the possible ocular localisation of the dirofilariasis.
