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