Ocular gnathostomiasis is rather a rare food-borne zoonosis caused by infection with the larvae of several species of genus and is a representative ocular larva migrans syndrome. In our previous literature survey, we found 73 cases of ocular gnathostomiasis reported up to and including 2009, though additional sporadic cases have been reported in Asia and the Americas since that report. Here, we review 10 additional cases reported since 2010, and also update current findings regarding epidemiological and clinical features in affected patients.
颚口线虫病是一种较为罕见的食源性人畜共患病，由几种颚口属物种的幼虫感染引起，是典型的眼部幼虫移行症综合征。在我们之前的文献调查中，我们发现截至2009年（包括2009年）共报告了73例颚口线虫病病例，不过自该报告发布以来，亚洲和美洲又陆续报告了一些散发病例。在此，我们回顾了2010年以来报告的另外10例病例，并更新了有关受影响患者的流行病学和临床特征的当前研究结果。
