Abstract
A patient who developed a self‐limited acute migratory arthritis in association with subcutaneous infection with Dirofilaria tenuis is described. There have been several reports of parasitic rheumatism and the possible association between arthritis and parasitic infection. Parasitic rheumatism in a patient infected with D tenuis has not been previously reported, however.Keywords
