Escolar de 11 años, de sexo femenino, proveniente de la Región del Bío-Bío, sin antecedentes de viajes, consultó por ojo rojo, blefaritis y epífora sanguinolenta; al examen oftalmológico reveló una pseudomembrana. La sospecha clínica fue de una conjuntivitis folicular. Se realizó la remoción quirúrgica de la lesión y en el estudio histopatológico se observaron lesiones características de rinosporidiosis, correspondiente a quistes de 50-150 μm con pared quitinosa y numerosas endosporas. La rinosporidiosis es una infección causada por Rhinosporidium seeberi, que afecta con mayor frecuencia la cavidad nasal, pero puede también afectar el ojo, aparato urogenital y la vía aérea, entre otros. Es considerado endémico en países de Asia y África, pero dado el aumento de viajes a estas regiones es importante reconocer este agente como causal de pólipos en la zona nasal y ocular.
