An uncommon ocular manifestation of Sweet syndrome: peripheral ulcerative keratitis and nodular scleritis.

Sweet syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is characterized by fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and abrupt appearance of painful erythematous nodules and plaques, particularly on the face, neck, and limbs.

Fungal Keratitis Associated with Viral Keratitis

Microbial keratitis caused by more than one microorganism is rare. It may occur as a coinfection or as a secondary infection superimposed with an existent microorganism. [1] Both infectious and immune mechanisms are implicated in microbial keratitis. Herein, we report an unusual clinical case of viral and fungal mixed infection. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient. A 31‑year‑...
