Abstract: | ![]() PURPOSE: To describe a patient with keratitis associated with Churg-Strauss syndrome. METHODS: A 44-year-old lady with known Churg-Strauss syndrome was examined with marginal infiltrative ulcerative keratitis. RESULTS: Autoimmune disorders with systemic vasculitis are a major cause of marginal keratitis, and in this patient, the diagnosis of Churg-Strauss was confirmed clinically and pathologically. CONCLUSIONS: Churg-Strauss syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of marginal keratitis. |
