A Case of Human Thelaziasis Occurred in Both Eyes

양안에 발생한 동양안충증 1예를 발견하고 간단한 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 본 증례는 농업에 종사해 온 23세 청년으로서 Thelagia callipaeda에 의한 양안침범의 첫 예에 해당되며, 국내에 있어서 전라북도 지역에서의 첫 보고례인 동시에, 6마리의 다수기생례이어서 특기할 만하다 하겠다.

On October 26, 1987, the authors encountered a case of human thelasiasis involving both eyes. The case in Chollapuk-do, Korea, a farmer aged 23, complained of mild lacrimation for 3 weeks followed by 1 week duration of foreign body sensation in both eyes prior to examination of eyes. The conjunctivae of both eyes appeared slightly reddened. No other abnormalities were noticed. Total 6 worms, one male and two females from each eye, were removed, parasitologically studied, and identified as Thelazia callipaeda Railliet and Henry, 1910.
