A three-year-old girl presented with a small brown lesion on the right upper eyelid margin. Close examination revealed an insect body attached to the eyelid margin. Microscopic examination of the specimen identified the species of the organism as Ixodes ricinus. The tick was completely removed with blunt forceps. She was treated with lid toilet, irrigation, and application of topical 0.3% ciprofloxacin four times daily to the affected eye. The lesion healed without scarring after one week. No systemic symptoms were observed. Mechanical removal with blunt forceps may be a quick, easy, safe and effective treatment for ticks located on the eyelids.
一名三岁女童右上眼睑边缘出现一个褐色小病灶。仔细检查发现有一个昆虫身体附着在眼睑边缘。对标本进行显微镜检查确定该生物体的种类为蓖麻硬蜱。用钝头镊子将蜱完全移除。对患眼进行眼睑清洗、冲洗，并每天四次涂抹局部用0.3%环丙沙星进行治疗。一周后病灶愈合且无瘢痕形成。未观察到全身症状。用钝头镊子进行机械移除对于位于眼睑上的蜱可能是一种快速、简便、安全且有效的治疗方法。
