title: [Ultrasonography as an effective diagnostic method for human subcutaneous dirofilariasis].
abstract: The diagnosis of human dirofilariasis is difficult because of the absence of laboratory tests. Up-to-date ultrasound devices have a high resolution that can visualize this subcutaneous helminth. Ultrasonography can improve the timely diagnosis of this helminthism, as demonstrated by the given clinical example.
