| Abstract | To determine the influence of onchocercal eye disease on the intraocular pressure of the Yanomami Tribe Aratha-u´ of Roraima State, Brazil, considered endemic for onchocerciasis, a total of 86 patients were submitted to an ophthalmologic exam that included external examination, slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure measurement, and a fundus ophthalmoscope examination. A high prevalence of onchocerciasis-related eye lesions was encountered in 68.6% of the patients. Punctate keratitis and microfilariae in the anterior chamber were found in ~28%. The mean of intraocular eye pressure found was 10.47 mm of Hg. | pt_BR |
