    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Parasitology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Intraocular paragonimiasis is a rare parasitic infection of the eye.
    • Paragonimus westermani is a lung fluke known to cause ectopic infections.

    Observation:

    • A 13-year-old boy presented with recurrent acute intraocular pain and panuveitis.
    • Ocular findings suggested injury from a migrating intraocular parasite.

    Findings:

    • A living fluke was successfully extracted from the anterior chamber.
    • The extracted fluke was identified as Paragonimus westermani.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in unexplained intraocular inflammation.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing intraocular paragonimiasis.
