她又仔细检查了下,发现眼睛里还有一条(她也能取出来)。第二天她去看眼科医生,又取出了第三条。医生给她开了抗生素药膏,治疗细菌感染。

几个星期后,她回到位于内布拉斯加州的家,仍觉得眼睛里有异物。于是她又去眼科检查,医生发现她眼里还有一条线虫。同时诊断她患上了结膜炎。

不过,幸运的是,在第四条虫取出来后不久,她的结膜炎也好了。
这是已知第二例人类感染眼部寄生虫的案例。此前一例是俄勒冈州一名26岁的女子,她在去马场骑马后感染上了寄生虫,医生从她的眼里取出了14条线虫。
研究人员介绍说,眼部寄生虫一般多发于牛身上,通过苍蝇在牛之间传播。这两个案例的发生可能意味着一种新的人畜共患病出现了。
"The worm was identified as an adult female Thelazia gulosa," the authors write.作者写道:“经鉴定,这种线虫是成年雌性大口结膜吸吮线虫。”"Importantly, eggs containing developed larvae were observed in utero, indicating that humans are suitable hosts for the reproduction of T. gulosa."“重要的是,我们在子宫内也观察到含有发育幼虫的卵,这表明人类是适合大口结膜吸吮线虫繁殖的宿主。”If you do have these worms squiggling around in your eye, though, you don"t want to delay in getting them out of there, the researchers warn.研究人员警告说,如果你发现有这类虫在你的眼睛里蠕动,要想办法尽快把它们弄出来。
"In long-term untreated infections, chronic irritation caused by the passage of adult worms over the cornea may result in keratitis, loss of visual acuity, or even blindness," the team explains.研究小组解释道:“如果眼睛长期受感染没有得到治疗,成虫对角膜造成慢性刺激,可能导致角膜炎,视力下降,甚至失明。”

研究人员表示,目前尚不清楚为什么这种线虫直到现在才开始感染人类,但如果你接近牛群,或者不幸在野外撞上一群苍蝇,就有可能感染寄生虫。
