[Dirofilariosis: subconjunctival infection with Dirofilaria repens].
2012
: A 45-year-old female patient from Bosnia complained of recurrent swelling and redness of the upper eyelid and 24 h later the patient consulted the Salzburg eye hospital because of a subconjunctival swelling. The slit lamp investigation showed a living Dirofilaria repens which could be removed by forceps. On the basis of this case the infection pathway, possible increasing incidence and therapy are discussed.
