This week features our monthly case from Idzi Potters and the
Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp. A Nigerian male patient, returns to Belgium, after having visited his relatives. He presents at the hospital, where a worm was extracted from his eye (length: 5 cm).
In a drop of blood, live “larvae” were seen.
A KNOTT concentration was made and stained with Carazzi’s to visualize the details.
The “larvae” are measuring (on average) 280 µm in length.
Diagnosis please?
