Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
  • Corneal abscesses are serious infections of the cornea.
  • The co-occurrence of psoriasis and corneal abscess is rarely documented.

Observation:

  • A single case of cold corneal abscess was observed.
  • The patient had a history of psoriasis.

Findings:

  • This represents a unique case presentation in the medical literature.
  • The case highlights the importance of considering psoriatic involvement in atypical corneal infections.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of corneal abscess in psoriatic patients is essential.
  • Management strategies may need to consider the underlying psoriatic condition.
  • Further research is warranted to understand this association.
