Ocular toxocariasis in children and youth.
The number of infections with larvae of the Toxocara canis worm has been continuously increasing in the Polish population, and the diagnosis and treatment of this disease is difficult. The authors describe 81 cases of eye infection in children and youth at the age of 3 to 18 years. The lesions in 94 eyes were observed for 0.5 to 11 years. In all patients the diagnosis was confirmed by ELISA test. In the clinical picture various forms of uveitis and granuloma of the eye fundus were found. The treatment consisted in general and topical application of antihelmintics, antibiotics and corticosteroids. In 23 eyes photocoagulation, in 11 cryopexy, and in 3 vitrectomy was performed. Clinical improvement was observed in 50 eyes, stabilization of the lesions in 41 eyes, and deterioration in the remaining 3 eyes. The authors conclude that the best results are obtained through conservative treatment combined with photocoagulation and cryopexy.
