Very few cases of Human Thelaziasis are reported worldwide. This is the first case of its kind from Bangladesh. A 58 years old man was admitted to Ophthalmology department of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, with itching, redness, foreign body sensation, lacrimation & filamentary discharge from right eye (R/E). He had visual acuity <6/60, conjunctival congestion & advanced bi-headed pterygium of R/E. After exposure of R/E ball with universal eye's speculum, a thin white nematode was found into the right lower conjunctival fornix. It was taken out by a plain forceps, placed into a bottle containing Hartman's solution & immediately sent to Microbiology department of Mymensingh Medical College for proper identification. Subsequently with the joint collaboration & detailed examination by the Parasitology department of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh, the nematode was identified as an adult Thelazia callipaeda worm. |
