Human thelaziasis is a zoonotic eye disease caused by a nematode parasite called Thelazia. In India, seven human cases of Thelazia have been reported earlier. This is the first case report of an infant infected with Thelazia. During the month of July, 2012, the infant was presented with an eye problem to the eye clinic from a village of Dibrugarh. Five worms (three female and two male) were recovered from the left eye of the infant. Thelazia infection is rare in infant, and report of this case is suggestive of prevalence of infection in the area and warrants further investigation.
人吸吮线虫病是一种由名为吸吮线虫的线虫寄生虫引起的人畜共患眼病。在印度，此前已报告过7例人感染吸吮线虫的病例。这是首例关于婴儿感染吸吮线虫的病例报告。2012年7月，一名来自迪布鲁格尔一个村庄的婴儿因眼部问题被送到眼科诊所。从该婴儿的左眼取出了5条线虫（3条雌虫和2条雄虫）。婴儿感染吸吮线虫的情况较为罕见，该病例报告表明该地区存在感染情况，值得进一步调查。
