[Nematode larva migrans. On two cases of filarial infection]

With rapid air travel, so-called parasitic infections are becoming more important in northern hemisphere and temperate climates. Parasitic disease is usually taken to imply infections caused by protozoa and helminths. The most important helminthic infections in man and with world-wide incidence are schistosomiasis, hookworm, and filariasis. We report the clinico-pathological findings of two patients with filarial infection of soft tissue and lymphatic nodes.
