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.
