Abstract:
We report the clinical picture of an European female patient, who suffered from Onchocercosis after a 4 year stay in endemic areas in Africa. The diagnosis was based on repeated skin-snips. Despite two courses of systemic chemotherapy, initial corneal changes could be observed as peripheral superficial stroma infiltrations.
