Abstract

A specimen of a filarial worm was found in an enlarged painless cervical lymph node removed from a 29 year old patient in Israel. On the basis of its macroscopic and microscopic appearance, the worm was positively identified as Dirofilaria conjunctivae. This is the first case of Dirofilaria found in a human lymph node and the third case of human dirofilariasis reported in Israel.
