Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Unilateral panuveitis is an ocular condition requiring thorough etiological investigation.
  • Parasitic infections are increasingly recognized as potential causes of intraocular inflammation.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old Sri Lankan patient presented with unilateral panuveitis.
  • Ancylostoma duodenale, a common parasite in the Indian subcontinent, was identified as the likely causative agent.

Findings:

  • The study establishes a direct link between Ancylostoma duodenale infection and the development of panuveitis.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic etiologies in unexplained uveitis.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and treatment of Ancylostoma duodenale can prevent vision loss in patients with uveitis.
  • This underscores the need for integrated approaches to manage neglected tropical diseases and their ocular manifestations.
