摘要
我们报告了一例在法国居住了一年的 21 岁喀麦隆妇女的病例,她因左眼不适和瘙痒到我科就诊。检查发现,她的鼻下结膜下有一条活动的半透明线状物,因此怀疑是卢埃虫。麻醉后进行了摘除,发现了一条 31 毫米长的雄性 Loa loa。尽管微丝蚴载量较低,但阳性结果证实了诊断,而且诊断工作排除了其他部位。使用乙胺嗪治疗效果良好。该病例强调了在非流行地区考虑洛艾病的重要性,并强调了在诊断和管理中进行跨学科合作的必要性。
Ocular loaiasis in France: the first case report from Brittany.
We report the case of a 21-year-old Cameroonian woman residing in France for one year, who presented to our department with left eye discomfort and itching. Examination revealed a mobile translucent cord beneath the nasal-inferior conjunctiva, prompting suspicion of loaiasis. Anesthesia was administered for extraction, revealing a 31 mm male Loa loa. A positive microfilarial load, albeit low, confirmed the diagnosis and the diagnostic workup excluded other locations. Treatment with diethylcarbamazine was well-tolerated. This case highlights the importance of considering loaiasis in non-endemic regions and underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in its diagnosis and management.
