Abstract

Toxocariasis is an important zoonotic disease caused by the second stage larva of Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati . The typical clinical syndromes of toxocariasis in humans are visceral and ocular toxocariasis. Ocular toxocariasis may presents as peripheral inflammatory mass, posterior pole granuloma and endophthalmitis. We report a serologically confirmed case of ocular toxocariasis in 12-year-old female. The diagnosis was confirmed by detection of anti- Toxocara antibodies in aqueous and vitreous sample by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We suggest that ophthalmologist in this region should include ocular toxocariasis in differential diagnosis particularly in children and young adults.

摘要

弓蛔虫病是一种由犬弓首蛔虫或猫弓首蛔虫的二期幼虫引起的重要人畜共患病。人类弓蛔虫病的典型临床综合征为内脏型和眼型弓蛔虫病。眼型弓蛔虫病可表现为周边炎性肿块、后极部肉芽肿和眼内炎。我们报告一例血清学确诊的12岁女性眼型弓蛔虫病病例。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法检测房水和玻璃体样本中的抗弓蛔虫抗体确诊。我们建议该地区的眼科医生在鉴别诊断中应考虑眼型弓蛔虫病，尤其是在儿童和年轻人中。
