While dogs are affectionate and lovable pets, their parasites may be hazardous to humans. A 14-year-old boy’s eyesight began to deteriorate after becoming infected with dog roundworm. Fortunately a diagnosis was made early and his health is recovering after treatment.

 

Dog-lovers frequently stroke and kiss their pets. However, affectionate contact with canines is potentially dangerous. The eyesight of a 14-year-old boy began to deteriorate after contact with dogs. After medical investigation, it was found that his eye had been infected with a species of parasite commonly referred to as “dog roundworm.”

 

If fertilized eggs are ingested through contact with dogs, roundworms can infect human organs through the digestive system and the bloodstream. Dog roundworm infections can cause blindness or lung inflammation.
