چکیده
|
Leeches are segmented worms belonging to phylum annelida and make up the subclass hirudinea. leeches have been historically used in medicine to suck blood from patients. ocular infestation with leech is rare, moreover it is often misdiagnosed. in this report, we describe 2 patients with continuous bright ocular bleeding after swimming in a pool, and pseudo iris prolapse in a child after trauma with a wooden piece who immediately washed his face in a stream. ocular leech infestation must be ruled out in children with a history of contamination or swimming in rural pool or streams.
