一名居住在日本西南部的2岁女孩左脚有一个持续2个月的结节。病变的活检显示蠕虫的横切面被肉芽肿组织包围。根据其表皮较厚、皮层有环状脊、体肌较高等形态特征，初步鉴定为盘尾丝虫属。阳性血清学试验，采用ELISA的盘尾丝虫gutturosa和盘尾丝虫扭转支持诊断。这是日本发现的第一例人畜共患盘尾丝虫感染病例。本文对该病例的临床病理进行了讨论。
A 2‐year‐old girl living in southwestern Japan had a nodule of 2 months' duration on the left foot. A biopsy from the lesion showed transverse sections of a worm surrounded by granulomatous tissue. The worm was identified as an Onchocerca sp. from the morphological characteristics such as relatively thick cuticles, annular ridges on the cortical layer, and high somatic muscles. Positive serological tests using ELISA for Onchocerca gutturosa and Onchocerca volvulus supported the diagnosis. This was the first case of zoonotic Onchocerca infection detected in Japan. The clinicopathological aspects of zoonotic onchocerciasis of this case were discussed.
