“…Intraocular infection with S equina has not been documented to date in human patients, although cases of subconjunctival migration of adult S labiatopapillosa and S equina have been observed in Romania and Egypt, respectively. Affected patients presented with an acute history of redness, swelling and discomfort in one eye, and slit lamp examination revealed a vermiform mass that could be seen to be moving beneath the temporal bulbar conjunctiva .…”

“…Subconjunctival granuloma formation is commonly observed in dogs with ocular onchocerciasis, and it has been described with Strongylus edentatus erratic migration in a horse as well as with Dirofilaria repens subconjunctival infection in a dog . Subconjunctival nodular inflammation mimicking scleritis has also been documented in human patients with infection of periocular tissue by filarial species such as onchocerciasis, loiasis, and dirofilariasis …”

An 18‐month‐old Arabian‐English filly resident in southwest France was referred for evaluation of a conjunctival mass in the right eye (OD). A pink, solid, and mobile nodular formation, measuring approximately 1.2 × 0.8 cm was found under the superior nasal bulbar conjunctiva during an ophthalmic examination that was otherwise normal. The mass was surgically removed using a standing procedure. Cytological examination of fine‐needle aspirates from the mass revealed a mixed eosinophilic‐lymphocytic inflammation. Histological examination confirmed the dense and diffuse eosinophilic‐lymphocytic infiltrate of the mass, and it revealed several cross sections of a parasitic nematode. The morphometric diagnosis identified an immature form of a filarial worm, and molecular analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxydase subunit 1 (cox1) and 12S rRNA gene sequences led to further identification of the specimen as Setaria equina. Microfilaremia was not observed on fresh blood smears. There have been no signs of local recurrence after 18 months, nor any evidence of intraocular involvement. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first documented case of subconjunctival setariasis due to S equina in a horse.

“…Other families of flies such as Muscidae and Phoridae are also known to cause these symptoms. 6 Cochliomyia hominivorax is the most common cause of ophthalmomyiasis in the western world and in many parts of India. It thrives in areas roughly 1500 m above the sea level and where the temperature is near and above 20°C throughout the year.…”

Ocular myiasis is a rare disease with invasion of the lids, conjunctiva, cornea and, rarely, orbit or globe of the mammalian eye by dipteral larvae.We report a case of a 74-year-old woman with chronic, infiltrating, ulcerative lesion of the left lower eyelid, which was confirmed as basal cell carcinoma subsequently, having ophthalmomyiasis.She was a destitute, living in unhygienic environmental conditions and having poor general health. She developed permanent blindness as a result of ophthalmomyiasis of the left eye. Proper wound care, hygiene and adequate nutrition helped her recover from the illness.

Mikrobielle Keratitis – Teil 2: mykotische und Akanthamöbenkeratitiden

ZusammenfassungPilze und Akanthamöben stellen neben Bakterien wesentliche Ursachen für die Entstehung infektiöser Hornhauterkrankungen (mikrobielle Keratitis) und möglicher nachfolgender Erblindung des betroffenen Auges dar. Aufgrund weitgehend unspezifischer Gewebereaktionen, vor allem in den Frühstadien der Entzündung, wird die Diagnose infektiöser Hornhauterkrankungen oftmals erst verspätet gestellt. Insbesondere bei Akanthamöben sind Verwechslungen mit viralen (herpetischen) Keratitiden leicht möglich. Der behandelnde Augenarzt ist daher vor hohe diagnostische Herausforderungen gestellt.
