Loiasis, a Subconjunctival Manifestation

An 8-year-old girl, a native of Equatorial Guinea, grew up close to a river. She was evaluated in our center for ocular pruritus, swollen eyelid, and observation of "a worm" beneath the conjunctiva (Figure). There were no other significant findings in the physical examination. She had a history of a high eosinophil count and relapsing malaria, treated with atovaquone-proguanil.
