ABSTRACT
Thelazia callipaeda was first described by Railliet and Henry in 1910. The first human case was reported by Stuckey in 1917, who extracted four worms in the eye of a coolie in Peiping. In Korea, seven cases of human thelaziasis have been already reported and all of the worms were identified to be thelazia callipaeda. The present paper is to report the 8th human infested case of Thelazia callipaeda in Korea. The patient was 25 years old virgin who had lived in Seoul since birth.
