Human eye infections with filariae of man and animals have been reported from many countries, but there are no previous records of the recovery of such worms in malaya. In the present case, a live, mature but unfertilized female filaria, identified as most probably a Brugia sp., was recovered from the conjunctiva of a patient in an area where human and animal infections with species of this genus are known to be common.
