摘要
The authors describe a case of conjunctival localization of a living adult Wuchereria bancrofti female observed in a 6 year old native Haitian girl two years after her arrival in France. The adult was surgically removed from the conjunctiva. Microfilariae were evidenced in blood samples obtained at midnight. This is the first case of sub-conjunctival localization of W. bancrofti. This case stresses the necessity to identify the filaria by studying the microfilariae in blood samples obtained at different times of the nycthemere and/or by observing the adult after surgical extraction. The presence of a Loa, a Dirofilaria, a Mansonella, or a Wuchereria calls for different medical therapies.
