We describe a rare clinical finding of conjunctival tick attachment in a child. A 10-year-old boy presented to the clinic with right-eye itch. He was found to have a live tick firmly attached to his right temporal conjunctiva. The tick was identified as the larval stage of the paralysis tick, Ixodes holocyclus. The tick was removed completely by conjunctival excision. Although various methods of removing a tick have been described in the literature, the goal of treatment is the safe and complete removal of the tick to prevent further transmission of pathogens, allergens, and toxins to the patient.
我们描述了一名儿童结膜附着蜱虫这一罕见的临床发现。一名10岁男孩因右眼瘙痒到诊所就诊。发现一只活蜱虫紧紧附着在他右侧颞部结膜上。该蜱虫被鉴定为全环硬蜱的幼虫阶段。通过结膜切除术将蜱虫完全移除。尽管文献中描述了多种去除蜱虫的方法，但治疗的目标是安全、彻底地去除蜱虫，以防止病原体、过敏原和毒素进一步传播给患者。
