To evaluate ocular changes of onchocerciasis, we constructed a single ocular reaction index. Counts of microfilaria in the anterior chamber and cornea, corneal punctate opacities, and grades of limbitis and uveitis were rated from 0 to 6 and then summed. The index was applied to the ocular findings of the subjects who were entered in a study comparing diethyl-carbamazine with ivermectin and found to be valid and stable over time. It is suggested that the proposed index can be used to evaluate a patient's ocular status following treatment or during the course of disease.
为评估盘尾丝虫病的眼部变化，我们构建了一个单一的眼部反应指数。对前房和角膜内的微丝蚴计数、角膜点状混浊以及睑缘炎和葡萄膜炎的分级从0到6进行评分，然后求和。该指数应用于一项比较乙胺嗪和伊维菌素的研究中受试者的眼部检查结果，发现其随时间推移有效且稳定。建议所提出的指数可用于评估治疗后或疾病过程中患者的眼部状况。
