summary

My colleague's son is 11 years old. He likes swimming very much. After swimming back, his eyes developed edema, and there was blood in his retina. The situation was very serious. My colleague took the child to the hospital for treatment. The child was diagnosed with ocular toxocariasis. After a period of treatment, the child completely recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Here are the symptoms of toxocariasis.

Symptoms of ocular toxocariasis?

Symptom 1: colleagues take their children, Xiao Hanlin, and several of us go on a spring outing. A few days after the spring outing, Xiao Hanlin's eyes appear edema, and there is a lot of blood in his eyes. The situation looks very serious.

Symptom 2: colleagues immediately led Xiao Hanlin to the hospital. After the doctor's professional examination, they knew that Xiao Hanlin was suffering from a special parasitic disease, called ocular ascariasis. This parasite not only causes eye tissue lesions, but also causes fever, fatigue, weight loss, cough, wheezing, skin rash and other diseases, and even encephalitis. It is very harmful to infants and young children. It has been found that they need to see a doctor immediately.

Symptom 3: after the diagnosis, the doctor treated Xiao Hanlin with anti worm drugs and glucocorticoids (such as thiabendazole, albendazole and methylpyridazole). After ten days of treatment, Hanlin recovered and was discharged. Colleagues also learned about some of the basic symptoms of this disease, such as the appearance of dark shadow without reason, severe vision loss, etc. according to these symptoms, parents can make their own basic judgment on their children.

At the same time, I also learned that most of the children with this disease have dogs or cats at home. Because the parasite causing toxocariasis is fixed in the body of cats and dogs, and children are prone to this disease because of swallowing infected food or close contact with dogs and cats, and lack of awareness of hygiene.
