| description | ABSTRACT: In November 2021, a 19-year-old medical student was diagnosed with a rabbit-derived Thelazia callipaeda infection in her left eye. She visited her doctor because she removed the white object by herself with a cotton swab 2 days earlier. She explained to the doctor that she rubbed her eyes without washing her hands when rabbit hair got into her eyes during the animal experiment class at school 2 weeks earlier. The other 2 worms were then taken out with ophthalmic forceps and were placed into physiological saline. The worms were sent to the Shandong Academy of Eye Disease Prevention and Therapy for examination. After identification, the worms were regarded as the female T. callipaeda. Ofloxacin eye drops and peranapulin eye drops were administered to control inflammation. No abnormality was found in the follow-up 2 weeks and 1 month later. This report highlights that it is very important to strengthen the health and safety education of medical students during animal experiment classes. |
