Human thelaziasis is a zoonotic eye disease caused by a nematode parasite called 
Thelazia. In India, seven human cases of Thelazia have been reported earlier. 
This is the first case report of an infant infected with Thelazia. During the 
month of July, 2012, the infant was presented with an eye problem to the eye 
clinic from a village of Dibrugarh. Five worms (three female and two male) were 
recovered from the left eye of the infant. Thelazia infection is rare in infant, 
and report of this case is suggestive of prevalence of infection in the area and 
warrants further investigation.
