To present a case report on a patient with keratouveitis after exposure to a tarantula.
A 15-year-old boy presented with ocular redness and discomfort after his pet tarantula (Chilean Rose) had walked over his face.
Clinical examination revealed inflammatory reactions in the corneas and the anterior chamber. After nine months, two subepithelial infiltrates of the cornea emerged, surrounding tarantula hairs of the stroma. The hairs were removed.
Topical steroids relieved the symptoms, but ten months after exposure there was still a mild reaction in the anterior chamber of the right eye.
Hairs from pet tarantulas might penetrate deeply into the eye and give keratouveitis. The hairs might be difficult to detect. Though rare, this phenomenon should be known by both ophthalmologists and the public.
报告一例接触狼蛛后发生角膜葡萄膜炎的病例。
一名15岁男孩，其宠物狼蛛（智利玫瑰狼蛛）爬过他的脸后，出现眼红和不适症状。
临床检查发现角膜和前房有炎症反应。九个月后，角膜出现两个上皮下浸润灶，周围有基质内的狼蛛毛发。毛发被取出。
局部使用类固醇缓解了症状，但接触后十个月，右眼前房仍有轻度反应。
宠物狼蛛的毛发可能会深深刺入眼睛并引发角膜葡萄膜炎。这些毛发可能难以检测到。尽管这种现象罕见，但眼科医生和公众都应该了解。
