Churg-Strauss syndrome presenting with conjunctival nodules in association with Candida albicans and ankylosing spondylitis.
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare diffuse vasculitis of which the ocular manifestations have been well documented. However, reports of conjunctival involvement in Churg-Strauss syndrome are scarce. Such a presentation is described in a man with Candida albicans infection as well as ankylosing spondylitis, and a possible aetiological linkage is established amongst all three.
