Loiasis, caused by the filarial nematode Loa loa, is often asymptomatic but frequently manifests as episodic angioedema and periocular migration of adult worms. Hence also known as the eye worm.(1) It is rarely encountered in the United States among travelers and immigrants. This report describes a case of loiasis in a Cameroonian student seen at a US university clinic.
罗阿丝虫病由丝状线虫罗阿丝虫引起，通常无症状，但常表现为发作性血管性水肿和成虫在眼周移行。因此也被称为眼虫病。（1）在美国，旅行者和移民中很少见到这种病。本报告描述了一名喀麦隆学生在美国大学诊所被诊断为罗阿丝虫病的病例。
