The aerobic Gram-positive rod Bacillus anthracis can cause potentially lethal diseases affecting different organs. Localized eyelid inflammation is a rare presentation of cutaneous anthrax. This case report involves two patients with palpebral anthrax admitted to the oculoplastic ward of Feiz Eye Hospital, Isfahan, Iran. The patients had a history of close contact with animals. Clinical presentation included palpebral swelling and necrosis of the eyelids in both cases. The patients first underwent an appropriate antibiotic regimen, and biopsy specimens were collected from their necrotic tissues. They were discharged after complete healing and followed up to manage possible complications. Cicatricial ectropion developed in both cases during healing. Reconstructive surgery was scheduled for both cases 6 months after their discharge.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the natural history and ophthalmologic morbidity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced rash and mucositis (MIRM) and propose a treatment algorithm. DESIGN: Retrospective, interventional case series. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of all MIRM patients examined by the department of ophthalmology at a tertiary children's hospital. Diagnosis was established clinically concomitant with either positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM or PCR testing from January 1, 2010, until December 31, 2019. The main outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity, long-term ocular sequelae, and duration and type of ophthalmic intervention. RESULTS: There were 15 patients (10 male and 5 female) aged 10.9 ± 4.2 years who had primary episodes of MIRM; of those, 4 had multiple episodes. All patients required topical steroid treatment, 3 required amniotic membrane transplantation, and 1 patient underwent placement of a sutureless biologic corneal badage device. There were no patients who suffered visual loss, but 1 was left with mild symblephara near the lateral canthus in each eye and 2 others had scarring of the eyelid margins and blepharitis. CONCLUSIONS: The ocular morbidity is significantly less in MIRM than in other closely related syndromes such as erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. However, these patients still require close observation and a low threshold for intervention to avoid permanent ophthalmic sequelae and possible blindness.

A 45-year old male patient, with a past history of illicit drug abuse and hepatitis C, presented with a 2 day history of worsening eyelid edema. Examination of the globe was impossible due to eyelid fusion caused by extensive soft tissue damage. Based on the examination, a diagnosis of necrotic fasciitis secondary to VZV infection was Romamade. The patient received empirical treatment with intravenous acyclovir, meropenem and vancomycin. CT imaging demonstrated no ocular involvement. Lesions were cultivated, revealing presence of Streptococcus pyogenes. Intravenous clindamycin was added to his course. Improvement was gradually observed. The patient received treatment for a total of 21 days, resulting in excellent final outcome. His final visual acuity was 0.9 on a Snellen chart, without signs of ocular inflammation. No surgical intervention was required and lesions fully healed with conservative management. Clinical outcomes depend on prompt treatment initiation, whilst delay in the diagnosis can prove fatal.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of microblepharon exfoliation on the number of eyelid bacteria and their lipase activity and the relationship of these to contact lens discomfort. METHODS: Thirty experienced contact lens wearers had their eyelid margin physiology, tear properties, and comfort scores assessed. The number, type, and frequency of lower eyelid margin bacteria, and their lipase activity, were measured. Eyelids were treated with a foam cleanser or microblepharon exfoliation. Clinical and microbiological tests were repeated at each visit. Changes and correlations were examined. RESULTS: Symptomatic lens wearers had a higher ratio for the number and frequency of gram-positive rods and cocci. Microblepharon exfoliation reduced the number and ratio of gram-positive rods to cocci from baseline for symptomatic wearers that lasted 7 to 10 days after treatment (P<0.05). Numbers of bacteria, the ratio of rods to cocci, and lipase activity correlated with lash contamination (r≥0.385; P≤0.046) and anterior blepharitis (r≥0.359; P≤0.048). Bacterial lipase correlated with meibomian gland secretions (r=0.422; P=0.038) and the tear evaporation rate (r=0.479; P=0.022). Microblepharon exfoliation produced a significant reduction in CLDEQ-8 scores and converted 10 symptomatic into asymptomatic lens wearers. CONCLUSIONS: There was dysbiosis in the lid microbiome of symptomatic lens wearers. Microblepharon exfoliation reduced the number, frequency of isolation, and ratio of gram-positive rods and cocci. Bacterial numbers and their lipase production correlated with changes to clinical signs and symptoms. Symptomatic lens wearers could be converted to asymptomatic lens wearers after microblepharon exfoliation.

BACKGROUND: M fortuitum and M chelonae are commonly reported in surgical site infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacterium, but M septicum is rarely known. Herein, the authors report the first case of surgical site infection caused by M septicum in an immunocompetent patient after blepharoplasty. METHODS: A 37-year-old woman had persisting bilateral masses on the upper eyelids at 3 months after a blepharoplasty. The excision and revision were performed in a local clinic with the administration of the empirical antibiotic (clarithromycin) for 2 months, but the masses recurred. The patient was referred to the authors' hospital after the steroid was injected. As the right eyelid skin was very thin with the pus pocket, curettage was performed, while the mass on the left eyelid was completely excised. A bacterial, Acid Fast Bacilli culture with antibiotic susceptibility testing, and a DNA-polymerase chain reaction test were performed. RESULTS: The polymerase chain reaction test identified M septicum. The antibiotic treatment was delayed to identify the susceptibility to antibiotics, but the Acid Fast Bacilli culture result showed no growth. In the meantime, the mass on the right eyelid recurred. Levofloxacin and clarithromycin were administered for 6 months in consultation with the Division of Infectious Diseases. Then the mass was excised. There was no recurrence after 1 year of follow-up. CONCLUSION: There are a few reports of M septicum catheter-related infection and pulmonary disease, but surgical site infection has not been reported. When a localized mass on a surgical site is found, surgeons should consider M septicum infection and find out the pathogen with its antibiotics susceptibility.

PURPOSE: To describe 26 cases of bulbar conjunctival sporotrichosis. METHODS: Review of clinical records of patients with bulbar conjunctivitis due to culture-proven Sporothrix spp. infection, in Rio de Janeiro, from 2007 to 2017. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients were identified. Median age was 25 years. Adults were more affected (53.8%), followed by adolescents (26.9%). There was a predominance of women (73.1%). Twenty-four patients (96%) reported contact with cats with sporotrichosis. Twenty-one patients (80.8%) presented a primary ocular sporotrichosis. Five patients presented associated eyelid lesions, and 21 (80.8%) tarsal conjunctivitis. Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome was observed in 17 (81%) patients. Eight patients (36.4%) reported the use of steroid drops before diagnosis was made. All patients but one were treated with oral itraconazole. Twenty-three patients (88.5%) were completely cured and three (11.5%) were lost to follow-up. Eight patients (34.8%) developed ocular sequelae. CONCLUSION: Bulbar conjunctivitis is an important clinical presentation of ocular sporotrichosis. It can lead to ocular sequelae. Sporotrichosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ophthalmic external diseases, especially in patients with cat contact history.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of Blephadex™ Eyelid Wipes on Demodex mites, ocular microbiota, bacterial lipase, tear film characteristics and ocular comfort after one month of daily use. METHODS: Twenty subjects were randomly assigned to use the Blephadex™ Eyelid Wipes on either eye once daily for 30 days whilst the contralateral eye was left untreated in this observer-masked, within-subject study. Demodex count, eyelid bacterial colony count, Tearscope Plus non-invasive tear break up time (NITBUT), Lipiview® tear film lipid layer thickness and phenol red thread test tear volume were measured at baseline and 30 days. Bacterial lipase was quantified from single bacterial colonies using a glycerol monolaurate assay. Ocular comfort was assessed at both visits using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and visual analogue scales (VAS) to capture monocular symptoms of itching, dryness and overall discomfort. RESULTS: Six males and 14 females, median age 63.5 (range 48-76) completed the study. A statistically significant reduction in Demodex count was observed in treated eyes only (median⯱â¯IQR: treated eyes 2⯱â¯3 vs. 0⯱â¯2, ANOVA p = 0.04). Bacterial colony count, lipase production, NITBUT, lipid layer thickness and tear volume remained unchanged (p > 0.05). Overall comfort improved over time in treated eyes only (15⯱â¯32 vs. 10⯱â¯16, p = 0.05). Dryness symptoms significantly reduced in both treated and untreated eyes (23⯱â¯42 vs. 12⯱â¯21 and 23⯱â¯41 vs. 10⯱â¯15, p = 0.02). The OSDI and ocular itch scores remained unchanged (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: In this pilot study, no changes were observed in ocular microbiota, tear film characteristics or bacterial lipase in eyes treated with Blephadex™ Eyelid Wipes after one month of daily use in this normal healthy population. Although a statistically significant reduction in Demodex count was observed in treated eyes, overall numbers of Demodex were low. A parallel group, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial in a population with active blepharitis is warranted to further elucidate these preliminary findings.

PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical features and risk factors of atypical mycobacterial infection in anophthalmic sockets with porous orbital implant exposure. DESIGN: Case-control study. METHODS: The medical records of all patients who had undergone surgical correction of porous orbital implant exposure were consecutively reviewed, and the patients were stratified as those with atypical mycobacterial infection (AM infection group) and others (non-AM group). RESULTS: Five and 21 patients were included in the AM infection and non-AM groups, respectively. All patients of the AM infection group had a peg or motility coupling post (MCP) and showed implant exposure around it. Following up on implant exposure, 2 patients abruptly presented with severe conjunctival injection and new lesions such as erythematous nodules or eyelid masses. They underwent immediate orbital implant exchange and atypical mycobacterial infection was diagnosed. Three patients who were not suspected of having infection underwent surgery for orbital implant exposure. Results revealed erythematous eyelid nodule or recurrent exposure shortly after surgery and patients were diagnosed with atypical mycobacterial infection. In the non-AM group, 7 (33.3%) patients underwent insertion of a peg or MCP. Statistical analysis showed that the insertion of a peg or MCP was the only risk factor showing a significant difference between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: The most important underlying risk factor for atypical mycobacterial infection in the anophthalmic socket is thought to be peg- or MCP-related exposure of the porous orbital implant. Surgical removal of the infected orbital implant and long-term antibiotic medication are needed for treatment.

Mujer de 46 años, sin antecedentes de interés, natural de Honduras y residente en España desde hace un mes y medio. Acude a urgencias por inflamación del párpado superior del ojo derecho, con zona que simula absceso. Se procede a drenado del mismo (sin obtener apenas contenido purulento), se prescribe tratamiento con antibióticos y antiinflamatorios tópicos y orales. A la semana siguiente acude con mejoría del cuadro inflamatorio, pero con molestias y erosiones corneales. Tras eversión del párpado superior se observa parásito tipo «gusano» emergiendo del tarso. Se completa extracción del mismo con pinza, identificándose como Dermatobia hominis (Dh) mediante examen en fresco. La evolución posterior de la paciente resultó favorable. DISCUSIÓN: La celulitis preseptal en pacientes procedentes de zonas tropicales y subtropicales puede ser causada por Dh
A 46-year-old woman with no relevant medical history, native of Honduras and resident in Spain for one and a half months. The patient went to the Emergency Department due to inflammation of the upper eyelid of the right eye, with an area that simulated an abscess. This was drained (obtaining hardly any purulent content). Treatment was prescribed with oral and topical antibiotics, as well as an anti-inflammatory drug. One week later the patient returned, with improvement of the inflammatory signs, but with discomfort and corneal erosions. After eversion of the upper eyelid, a «worm» type parasite emerged from the tarsus. The extraction was completed with a clamp, and was later identified as Dermatobia hominis (Dh) by examination of a fresh specimen. The subsequent outcome of the patient was favourable. DISCUSSION: Preseptal cellulitis in patients from tropical and sub-tropical areas can be caused by DH

Periocular necrotising fasciitis is a rare but sight-threatening condition, which relies on clinical judgement to detect in a timely manner. A 51-year-old woman presented to a rural hospital with rapid onset bilateral eye swelling, erythema and pain and was started on broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics. Upon admission, she became septic and required fluid resuscitation and transfer to a higher level of care. She received debridement and continued intravenous antibiotics, with step down to oral when clinically stable. Rapid recognition and treatment of her condition resulted in a positive outcome.

Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis (PONF) is a rare condition of the face. PONF can lead to blindness, functional and esthetic sequelae, multiple-organ failure, and death. The aim of this report is to raise the awareness of this severe condition in maxillofacial surgeons. This report describes the case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with a bilateral palpebral edema and pain 3 days after a jugal wound was sutured. Necrosis of the skin of the left palpebral unit was extending rapidly. The patient had signs of sepsis. Surgical debridement was performed promptly and intravenous broad-spectrum empiric antibiotics were administered. The patient recovered slowly with no complication other than a residual skin defect of the 2 eyelids that was later corrected by full-thickness skin grafting. Special attention should be paid to signs of preseptal cellulitis because it can, in some cases, rapidly develop into PONF. Early diagnosis and treatment are the keys to a favorable outcome.

A 13-year-old male patient presented with a complaint of swelling of the left eye starting 3 days ago. Bullous lesion and purulent discharge were present on his left eyelids. Bacillus anthracis was shown in culture and diagnosis was confirmed. Oculocutaneous anthrax is a rare condition, but the diagnosis should be considered in patients with a painless necrotizing ulcer.
