Nodules in the conjunctiva, bung-eye, and bulge-eye in Africa caused by Mansonella perstans.

J K Baird1, R C Neafie, D H Connor.   

Abstract

Eight patients from Uganda, Sudan, Nigeria, and Zaire presented with swelling of the eyelids, proptosis, or conjunctival granulomas. In 5 patients the cause was Mansonella perstans; in 1, it was a Wuchereria bancrofti-like worm; and in 2, an unidentifiable worm. The morphologic features and histopathologic changes in the conjunctiva and periorbital fat are described and illustrated.
