Bilateral chronic peripheral ulcerative keratitis secondary to cat-scratch disease.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of bilateral chronic peripheral ulcerative keratitis secondary to cat-scratch disease.


METHODS
Case report.


RESULTS
A 66-year-old woman was initially diagnosed with Perinaud oculoglandular syndrome in her right eye. She subsequently experienced recurrent episodes of bilateral peripheral ulcerative keratitis associated with diffuse thinning, neovascularization, and conjunctivalization of the peripheral corneas.


CONCLUSIONS
This case report shows a sequential occurrence of bilateral chronic peripheral ulcerative keratitis after an episode of cat-scratch disease. Cat-scratch disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of bilateral chronic peripheral ulcerative keratitis.
