Chronic Blepharitis: Consider Tinea Blepharo-Ciliaris.
Skinmed
August 2024
Department of Ophthalmology Habib Thameur Hospital, Tunis, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- A 7-year-old girl had unilateral blepharitis for one month after contact with a cat, initially misdiagnosed as a herpetic infection.
- Symptoms included itching and loss of eyelashes on her right eyelid, but her visual acuity remained normal at 20/20.
- A slit lamp examination showed anterior blepharitis with madarosis (loss of eyelashes), broken eyelashes, and abnormal lesions on the right lower eyelid, while the left eyelid appeared normal.
This review, which is part of the "Currents in One Health" series, describes the importance of the study of immune-mediated ocular disease in the development of innovative therapeutics, such as cell and gene therapy for the eye. Recent examples of cell and gene therapy studies from the author's laboratory are reviewed to emphasize the importance of One Health initiatives in developing innovative therapies for ocular diseases. Spontaneous immune-mediated corneal disease is common in horses, cats, dogs, and humans.

Koret School of Veterinary Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rehovot, Israel.
Purpose: To describe the prevalence of ocular diseases in Sphynx cats, and compare disease characteristics with other feline breeds.
Methods: Medical records of Sphynx cats presented to an ophthalmology referral center between 1/2012 and 4/2021 were examined. Cats of other breeds examined during the same period served as controls.
In vivo confocal microscopic features of naturally acquired canine herpesvirus-1 and feline herpesvirus-1 dendritic and punctate ulcerative keratitis.

November 2021
From the Department Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853.
Objective: To describe the in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) features of the corneal epithelium and stroma in dogs and cats with herpetic dendritic ulcerative keratitis.
Animals: 6 client-owned dogs and 10 client-owned cats with herpetic dendritic ulcerative keratitis (affected group) and 10 dogs and 10 cats from specific-pathogen-free laboratory colonies (nonaffected group).
Procedures: After complete ophthalmic examination, IVCM corneal examination was performed on the clinically diseased eyes of animals in the affected group and on both eyes of animals in the nonaffected group.
Altered Corneal Innervation and Ocular Surface Homeostasis in FHV-1-Exposed Cats: A Preliminary Study Suggesting Metaherpetic Disease.

January 2021
Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, United States.
Metaherpetic disease is recognized in humans affected by herpes simplex virus-1 but is not reported in cats affected by feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) despite the high prevalence of herpetic disease in this species and strong similarities in viral biology between alphaherpesviruses of humans and cats. This preliminary work evaluated cats naïve to FHV-1 ( = 9 cats, 18 eyes; control population) and cats naturally exposed to FHV-1 ( = 4 cats, 7 eyes), as confirmed by serologic testing and review of medical records. Antemortem assessment included clinical scoring, blink rate, corneal aesthesiometry, tear film breakup time (TFBUT), and Schirmer tear test-1 (STT-1) with or without the nasolacrimal reflex.
