印度男子眼裏取出13釐米長活蟲
When 75-year-old P.K. Krishnamurthy went to Dr. V. Seetharaman's office, he complained about eye pain, irritation, and redness, from which he had been suffering for two weeks. The specialist was shocked to find a live, writhing 13-centimeter-long worm residing in the patient's eye. He whisked Krishnamurthy into surgery immediately.
75歲的P.K. Krishnamurthy來到V. Seetharaman醫生的辦公室，告訴醫生這兩週來自己的眼睛總是感到刺痛、紅腫。檢查之後醫生驚訝地發現，Krishnamurthy的眼睛裏竟然有條13釐米長且蠕動着的活蟲，醫生隨即立刻讓他接受手術。Had Krishnamurthy not gone to the physician, the worm could have burrowed his way into the patient's brain, caused vision loss.
假如Krishnamurthy沒有來看醫生，那麼這條蟲可能一路鑽進他的腦袋，導致失明。Dr. Seethamaran said that it was the length of the organism that was shocking. In fact, they have seen one other similar worm in a person's body. This parasite, however, was three centimeters in length. It was the first time in the physician's 30 year career that he had seen such a thing.
Seethamaran醫生說這條蟲子如此之長讓他們震驚。事實上他們之前也在人體裏發現過類似的蟲子，但當時的那條寄生蟲不過3釐米長。此次是他從醫30年來首次目睹這樣的狀況。
The procedure took fifteen minutes, and was surveyed by the patient's wife. The doctor made a small opening in the conjunctiva. The threadlike parasite stayed alive for thirty minutes, writhing and jumping around.
手術過程花費了15分鐘，Krishnamurthy的妻子也在一旁看着。醫生通過在眼球結膜開個小洞（將蟲子取出）。那條線一般的寄生蟲還活蹦亂跳了30分鐘。How did it get there? Dr. Seethamaran theorizes that the patient probably ate it in some improperly cooked or uncooked food, made its way into his blood stream from the intestine, and voyaged into his eye.
蟲子是怎麼到Krishnamurthy的眼睛裏去的呢？Seethamaran醫生表示，理論上說起來可能是病人在吃一些烹飪不當或者未烹飪的食物時將它吞進了肚子，蟲子從病人的腸子進入了血管，然後一路到了眼睛部位。Krishnamurthy is reportedly doing well and should have a full recovery.
據報道Krishnamurthy現在一切無恙，應當會痊癒。
