Physical Examination
Skin
- Papular eruptions
- Onchocercomata (subcutaneous nodules)
- Changes in the color of the skin that result in a leopard skin appearance
- Thinning of the skin with loss of elastic tissue that gives the skin a cigarette-paper appearance and can contribute to conditions such as hanging groin.
Eyes
- Punctate keratitis occurs, which clears up as the inflammation subsides
- Sclerosing keratitis can occur, making the affected area become opaque.
- Retinitis
- Vitritis
- Uveitis
