Abstract

Tick infestation of the eyelid is a rare but serious condition that can lead to Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. In this report, we describe two cases who presented with tick infestation of the eyelid. Neither patient developed systemic disease or adverse sequelae after tick extraction. Complete mechanical removal of ticks located on the eyelid with blunt forceps is a safe and effective treatment method.

Özet

Göz kapağında kene enfestasyonu Kırım Kongo kanamalı ateşine sebep olabilecek nadir ancak ciddi bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada göz kapağında kene ısırığı ile başvuran iki olgu sunulmuştur. Kene çıkarıldıktan sonra hastaların hiçbirinde sistemik hastalık bulgusu veya lokal sekel lezyon gelişmemiştir. Göz kapağında yerleşmiş olan kenelerin mekanik olarak bir bütün şeklinde çıkarılması güvenli ve etkili bir tedavi şeklidir.
