Wriggly creatures coming out of eye: case report on human ocular thelaziasis
Ocular Thelaziasis is an arthropod-borne, zoonotic disease of the eye affecting the conjunctival sac,lacrimal duct, and lacrimal gland caused by a nematode of the genus Thelazia. Thelazia species aretransmitted by different species of Muscidae, which are a family of flies with worldwide distribution.The present study reports a case of human ocular Thelaziasis in a 13-year-old female patient.Species Thelazia callipaeda was confirmed based on microbiological examination. The patient wastreated with anti-helminthic drugs and was relieved of the symptoms without recurrence.
