Doctors Remove 1--we Worm
From Eve of lO-Year-old Girl

MEMPHIS - The nations
first repc ed case in human
of a rare eye disease caused
by a parasite in the eye has
been recorded at a Memphis
hospital.
DR.. M. w. Deweese said the
victim, 10-year-old colored
girl of Carthage, Miss, is now
home and recovering, although
her vision is impaired. She
was not identified.
The parasite, a tongue worm
was removed from inside the
girls right eye. 1t was still
alive after removal and was
turned over to psychologists
at the University of Tennes-
see.
University psychologists
say the disease is reported &C.
casionally in Africa, and is
prevalent in animals in this
country, but that this is the
first known case in human.
Doctors theorized the girl
consumed contaminated food
or water containing the para
site or. the egg and it worked
into the blood stream.
