Bacterial infection of a neurotrophic cornea in an immunocompromised subject.

Abstract:

:The following is a case report of a 61-year-old woman with a 10-year history of pemphigus vulgaris, successfully treated with steroids and cytotoxic agents. The patient developed severe herpes zoster ophthalmicus, complicated by a staph-indolent corneal ulcer. This case illustrates several of the many unfortunate ophthalmological complications that may develop in the immunocompromised patient.
