报告一例皮肤盘尾丝虫病是在非洲旅行期间获得的。主要从流行病学、临床、诊断和治疗等方面进行综述。讨论了流行地区的盘尾丝虫病患者和偶尔访问这些地区的患者之间的临床和实验室差异。在对有非洲、中美洲和南美洲外国旅行史的患者进行瘙痒皮疹的鉴别诊断时，应考虑寄生虫感染，包括盘尾丝虫病。
A case report of cutaneous onchocercias acquired during travels to Africa is presented. The salient epidemiologic, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects are reviewed. Clinical and laboratory differences between onchocerciasis patients who are inhabitants of endemic areas and those who are occasional visitors to such areas are discussed. Parasitic infections, including onchocerciasis, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pruritic eruptions in patients with a history of foreign travel to Africa, Central and South America.
