We report an unusual case of bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage following mycoplasma pneumonia. A healthy 3-year-old girl developed bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage at 4 days after the onset of fever and respiratory symptoms such as running nose, cough, and wheezing. Laboratory data were normal except for elevation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies. The patient was followed without trea...

Besides serological cross-reactivity and co-infection between dengue SARS-CoV-2, diagnostic challenges arise because many people have had positive IgG in dengue-endemic regions, patients usually come after 4-5 days of fever. We report a case 9-year-old girl, diagnosed with warning signs on admission fever, severe abdominal pain, thrombocytopenia, IgG. The subsequent course the illness was not c...

PURPOSE To compare the safety and efficacy of topical plus subconjunctival versus retrobulbar anesthesia for primary non-penetrating sclerectomy supplemented with adjuntive 5-FU. METHODS A prospective study of 30 consecutive patients who were randomized to receive subconjunctival (n = 14) or retrobulbar (n = 16) anesthesia was performed. Operating conditions, patient comfort, postoperative pa...

The impermeability of the blood-aqueous barrier to certain antibiotics precludes their use in intraocular infections, and it is very difficult to identify the causative organism if laboratory facilities are not available. With these limitations in view we embarked upon a blanket trial of framycetin sulphate (Soframycin eye drops o 5 per cent.) by intracameral injection in nine cases of intracta...

PURPOSE Excessive scarring in subconjunctival tissues after filtering surgery seems to be characterized by aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) production, and tissue transglutaminase (tTgase) plays an important role in this process. In the present study, the effects of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta2 on the expression of tTgase, its activity in subconjunctival fibroblasts and whether the...
