[Is human Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens parasitosis mor frequent than it appears on the Mediterranean coast?].
Some observations of human parasitism by Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens are frequently enough reported but they are also individually reported by different authors. Nïmes's geographical situation makes of it a privileged observatory for this helminthiasis. The worm's maturity varies depending on the subjects: the sensitivity of those and the clinical reactions are of a large variety. The ones that seem to be constant are the parasit's migrations in the different territories during a lot of months. It is the case in the observation reported here; in another article, we have shown the possibility of an intraperitoneal migration which discovery can be only of an extreme fate. Next to some noisy manifestations, other cases stayed quiet advise the adaptation of some autochtones submissed to iteratif infestations.
