Doctors for Dirofilariasis Treatment in Secunderabad

Dirofilariasis is an infection caused by heartworm parasites spread by mosquito bites. These worms usually live in dogs and other animals, but people can be infected by accident. In humans, the parasite often causes a small lump, usually in the lung, eye, or under the skin, and may go unnoticed until found during a checkup.

Dirofilariasis may cause symptoms such as fever, chest pain and cough. Depending on the condition and its severity, delayed medical care may result in persistent symptoms, progression of the disease, or related complications.

At Medicover Hospitals in Secunderabad, our experienced doctors (pulmonologists) provide evaluation and treatment for dirofilariasis.
