Résumé
Two new cases of human subconjunctival dirofilariasis are reported in Tunisia. Dirofilaria immitis was identified in the first case and Dirofilaria repens in the second. Diagnosis was made by histological examination of excised nodules. We note that the patients are young (8 and 10 years, respectively) and that cases of human dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria immitis are present in Tunisia.
