  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 10-year-old boy presented with a foreign body in his left conjunctiva. Slit-lamp microscopy showed a moving worm resembling a leech in the upper fornix. It had a sucker and was 10 mm in length. His eye was free of dis-orders except slight hyperemia at the site of the worm. The worm was identified as a young leech of Dinobdella ferox. The infestation probably occurred while swimming in a stream 5 days before. This is the first reported case in Oita Prefecture.
