A previously healthy crop farmer presented with a 2-month history of foreign-body sensation, redness, and blurred vision in his eyes. Motile roundworms were found in the conjunctival fornices of both eyes (shown in a video). Read the full case details in the Images in Clinical Medicine article “Thelaziasis”: nej.md/48j5KgL
Four medical images from the Images in Clinical Medicine article "Thelaziasis." Panels A and B: After topical anesthesia had been administered, 11 live worms measuring 11 to 20 mm in length were removed with fine forceps. Panel C: Some of the female worms were gravid and released embryonated eggs (asterisks) and densely coiled first-stage larvae (arrows) from their uteri. Panel D: The male worms had ventrally curved posterior ends with copulatory spicules (arrow).

I always hear this “ID docs are the nicest and smartest” Is the niceness perceived as weakness and hence one of the lowest medicine subspecialty compensation rates? They cover - infection prevention - abx stewardship - public health/outbreaks - outpatient/inpatient consults
