Dirofilaria repens nematode infection with microfilaremia in traveler returning to Belgium from Senegal Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
We report human infection with a Dirofilaria repens nematode likely acquired in Senegal. An adult worm was extracted from the right conjunctiva of the case-patient, and blood microfilariae were detected, which led to an initial misdiagnosis of loiasis. We also observed the complete life cycle of a D. repens nematode in this patient.
