Two human cases of Thelazia callipaeda infection in Korea.
Thelazia callipaeda were observed from a 7-month old baby who lived in Uijongbu in 1989 and from a 42-year old man who lived in Anyang in 1994. These are the 23rd and 24th records of human thelaziasis in Korea as the literature are concerned.
