Human ocular infestation by live filarial worm is a rare occurrence and has been reported mostly form South-East Asia. It involves the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber and uvea. No case of intravitreal Brugian microfilaria / adult worm has been found by Medline search. Here we report a case of live intravitreal adult Brugian filaria, where the parasite was successfully removed by pars plana vitrectomy. Identification of the worm was done by light microscopy and confirmed by immuno chromatographic test.

人体眼部被活丝虫寄生是一种罕见情况，大多报道来自东南亚地区。其累及眼睑、结膜、角膜、前房和葡萄膜。通过医学文献数据库检索未发现玻璃体内有布鲁氏微丝蚴/成虫的病例。在此，我们报告一例玻璃体内活的布鲁氏成虫病例，该寄生虫通过玻璃体切割术成功取出。通过光学显微镜对虫体进行鉴定，并经免疫层析试验证实。
