    Abstract:
    Microfilariae of Dirofilaria immitis were found in blood smears of a Dalmation which showed clinical signs of muscle weakness and membranous glomerulonephritis. The muscle weakness responded to treatment with neostigmine and the microfilariae disappeared after treatment with levamisole.
