Thirty two patients with severe form of vernal keratoconjunctivitis were selected and their stool were subjected to microscopic examination for ova, cysts, worm segments and living or dead worms. We advised these patients for three consecutive morning stools specimens, from the same laboratory. In our study 22(62.5%) patients out of 32 showed, infestation of various intestinal worms, with vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Patients were de-wormized and their disease pattern was studied. The objective of this study was to show the associations of worms as an etiologic factor and dewormization does help in alleviating the clinical features of the disease.Downloads
