Dirofilaria Tenuis Containing Microfilariae in Man

Guillermo Pacheco AND H. L. Schofield, Jr.*
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, Bethesda, Maryland 20014

An adult female D. tenuis containing microfilariae was found in the subcutaneous tissues of the abdominal region of a man from Florida. Structures resembling dead microfilariae were seen within nearby granulomata. The eosinophilia, antibody titers, and apparent response to diethylcarbamazine suggest occult filariasis similar to that seen in Southeast Asia.
