Fusarium keratitis and endophthalmitis associated with lens contact wear.

Introduction: Fusarium keratitis is a severe corneal infection that is usually seen in tropical and subtropical countries after a corneal trauma. In 2005-2006, an epidemic of Fusarium keratitis, occurring predominantly among contact lens wearers, was observed in several countries.

Case Report: We describe the clinical course of a Fusarium keratitis which failed to respond to systemic and local voriconazole treatment, and experienced a progression to a severe keratitis with endophthalmitis, requiring early therapeutic keratoplasty ("à chaud").

Dacryoadenitis associated with subcutaneous Sweet's syndrome in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia.

Careful observation of the clinical course, computed tomography, and orbital biopsy were necessary to establish the diagnosis of dacryoadenitis associated with subcutaneous Sweet's syndrome.
