AI Article Synopsis
- Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder (HVLPD) causes skin eruptions, often in sun-exposed areas, and can occasionally affect the eyes.
- A 7-year-old boy with HVLPD had eye symptoms for over 2 years, leading to anterior uveitis and corneal nebulae, though he didn't experience vision loss.
- Recognizing potential eye complications in HVLPD patients is essential to avoid severe outcomes.
Article Abstract
Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorder (HVLPD) is characterized by vesiculopapular eruptions on sun-exposed and sometimes unexposed skin. Though ocular involvement in HVLPD is rare, it may present with conjunctivitis, corneal opacities, uveitis, and interstitial keratitis. We report a case of a 7-year-old boy with HVLPD, whose ophthalmic symptoms were neglected for over 2 years, who developed anterior uveitis and corneal nebulae without vision impairment. Awareness of eye involvement in patients with HVLPD may help to prevent severe complications.
