Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting pilosebaceous units causing painful nodules, abscesses, and scarring. Despite global studies linking HS to metabolic syndrome, insights specific to Indian patients are limited.
Materials And Methods: This study aimed to describe the clinicodemographic characteristics and study frequency of metabolic syndrome in Indian HS patients.
A 48-year-old male with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) presented with bilateral diminution of vision. Ocular examination revealed bilateral central corneal thinning, scarring with ectasia, depigmented irides, transillumination defects, and pseudophakia. Examination of the right eye also revealed a hyperoleon, emulsified silicon oil in the vitreous cavity, and an attached retina, while the left eye had a total rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of pediatrician-performed wide-field digital retinal imaging (WFDRI) in diagnosing Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) compared to the traditional method of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO).
- 427 eyes from eligible infants were analyzed, showing that WFDRI had high sensitivity and specificity in detecting various stages of ROP, including those requiring treatment.
- The results suggest that WFDRI, performed by pediatricians, is a viable and safe option with strong accuracy for diagnosing ROP, indicating it could be used effectively in clinical settings.
