Doctors for Onchocerciasis Treatment in Sangamner

Onchocerciasis, also called river blindness, is an illness spread by the bite of tiny blackflies that carry a worm parasite. It can cause itchy skin, rashes, bumps under the skin, and over time may damage the eyes and lead to poor vision or blindness. It is found mostly in parts of Africa and nearby regions where these flies live.

People with onchocerciasis may notice symptoms such as progressive blindness, lymphadenopathy and dermatitis. A medical evaluation can help determine the nature and severity of the condition and whether treatment or ongoing monitoring is needed.
