Abstract

Although human interaction with leeches is common in Australia, there is little documented literature on ocular injuries as a result of contact with a leech. We report a case of ocular leech attachment and a previously undocumented method of removal with hypertonic saline solution.

摘要

尽管在澳大利亚，人类与水蛭的接触很常见，但关于因接触水蛭而导致眼部损伤的文献记载却很少。我们报告了一例眼部水蛭附着病例，并介绍了一种此前未记载的用高渗盐溶液去除水蛭的方法。
