[An oculoglandular syndrome and ophthalmia nodosa]

A case of ophthalmia nodosa associated with an oculoglandular syndrome is described. The patient, scratched by a cat six-and-a-half months earlier, presented a positive cat-scratch disease antigen test. The possibility that the oculoglandular syndrome is due to the reactivation of a latent virus, the cause of cat-scratch disease, is discussed.
