We have experienced with a rare case of blepharitis caused by pubic lice, which was confirmed by slit-lamp and light microscopic examinations and resulted with a good outcome with appropriate treatment as follows. A two year old male child complained of foreign body sensations bilaterally, and an itching sensation at both upper and lower eyelids for 2 months. He was diagnosed with blepharitis caused by pubic lice after observation of adult louse and nits on slit-lamp examination. The treatment was accomplished by mechanical removal of the lices and nits by forceps and antibiotic eyedrops and ointment were applied to both eyes. The morphologic evaluation was performed with slit-lamp and light microscopy. The follow-up interval was a week for next one month and no louse or nit was found under slit-lamp examination. So we decided that the pubic lice was completely removed.
