Case report identifies toxoplasmosis and ocular dirofilariasis in a Polish farmer, suggesting climate change impacts on parasitic infections.
Parasitic infections belong in many countries to the neglected illnesses and very often are diagnosed accidentally. The diseases spectrum varies dependly on the geographic location. Systemic parasitic coinfections, such as Toxocara spp. and Toxoplasma gondii can result in intraocular inflammation, which can be a major cause of blindness. Parasitic infections due to climate changes should also be taken more frequently under consideration in medical practice specially in patients with undifferentiated symptoms.
