Abstract

Eye is a rare target organ of parasitic infestation due to winged fly larvae. The eye can be affected in three different form in ophthalmomyiasis: Orbital, internal, and external. External ophthalmomyiasis commonly seen in the rural environment and close contact with animals especially in spring and summer months. External ophthalmomyiasis can be diagnosed by biomicroscopy with presence of moving larvae and the diagnosis can be confirmed by light microscopy. The basis of treatment is the mechanical removal of the larvae. Topical antibiotic, steroid, and antihistaminic treatment protects from secondary infections and complications. External ophthalmomyiasis is a rare cause of red eye that should be taken into consideration especially in the presence of risk factors that may be associated with the history. Keywords: Myiasis; Ophthalmomyiasis; Red eye
农村环境中的红眼:一个不寻常的原因
由于有翼蝇幼虫的存在,眼睛是一种罕见的寄生器官。眼病会以三种不同的形式影响眼睛:眼窝、眼内和眼外。外眼病常见于农村环境和与动物密切接触者,春季和夏季尤为常见。外眼病可通过生物显微镜诊断,有移动的幼虫,光镜可确诊。处理的基础是机械清除幼虫。局部抗生素、类固醇和抗组胺药治疗可防止继发性感染和并发症。外部性眼肿病是一种罕见的红眼原因,特别是在存在可能与病史相关的危险因素的情况下,应予以考虑。关键词:蝇蛆病;Ophthalmomyiasis;红色的眼睛
