[A case of human subcutaneous dirofilariasis in the Turin hills].
The literature about human dirofilariasis is briefly reviewed with particular reference to the Italian epidemiology, and a case of subcutaneous localization of living Dirofilaria Repens is described. The infestation occurred on the Turin hills. The occurrence of dirofilariasis in a hilly zone is pointed out, because the most common occurrence in Piedmont has been reported from rice zones.
