  • Title: Phthiriasis palpebrarum in an infant.
    Author: Keklikci U, Cakmak A, Akpolat N, Unlu K, Ozkul S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus; 2009; 46(3):173-4. PubMed ID: 19496500.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a case of phthiriasis palpebrarum embedded in the right upper eyelid of a 9-month-old male infant. The patient was successfully treated with mechanical removal of all lice and nits from the eyelashes. In children, phthiriasis palpebrarum should be considered in the differential diagnosis of blepharoconjunctivitis that is resistant to treatment.
