case report
case report
This is the second report of conjunctival sac pinworm infection in the
literature. The patient was treated with garlic juice, which was prepared as an eye
drop. The first case reported from India was a IS year old girl who had pinworm
infection of her left eye. She had wonnexpulsion•at night. Our case was a 13 year
old girl who had worm infestation in both eyes, along with frequent pinworm
discharge at night and occasionally during the day.
No single male worm was collected during infection. All collected pinworms
were identical to Enterobills vermielilaris, though a little smaller in size.
Our patient was from a crowded family, and probably acquired eye infection
through infected fingers or towels. Infection was present for one year before
treatment. During this period no reinfection had occurred but the conjunctiva were
not able to cease infection spontaneously, as this usually occurs in intact mucosa
of the human intestine during natural infection in two months.
Pinworm (Oxyuris), Garlic (Allium sativum), Conjunctiva.
