This book details a specific medical case involving the parasitic worm Filaria loa, which infests the human eye, causing discomfort and irritation. The focus of the book is primarily on the surgical removal and examination of the parasite, along with a discussion of its natural history and implications for public health in regions where it is endemic. In this case, the author narrates the experiences of a patient, Miss H, who had lived in Old Calabar, West Africa, and suffered from an infestation of Filaria loa under her conjunctiva, primarily in her left eye. The book describes her symptoms, the challenges of diagnosing the parasite, and the surgical procedure executed to extract it successfully. Robertson also discusses her health history, explores possible transmission routes for the parasite, and provides a review of the limited literature on similar cases, highlighting both the medical understanding of parasitic infections at the time and the need for further research into such conditions. Ultimately, this publication contributes valuable insights into the clinical aspects and societal impacts of Filaria loa infections.
