A 24-year-old patient from Cameroon presented to our hospital because of a foreign structure in her left eye. To our knowledge, for the first time, fluorescent microscopy revealed motile microfilariae, and the diagnosis of loiasis was established. Despite substantial microfilaremia, eosinophilia only unmasked after the initiation of antiparasitic therapy.
一位 24 岁的喀麦隆患者因左眼有异物来我院就诊。据我们所知,荧光显微镜首次显示出活动的微丝蚴,从而确诊为罗阿丝虫病。尽管存在大量微丝蚴血症,但只有在开始驱虫治疗后才出现嗜酸性粒细胞增多。
