title: Marginal infiltrative ulcerative keratitis secondary to Churg-Strauss syndrome: a case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
