ABSTRACT
Abstract The patient is a 10 years-old girl, with chief complaint of recent bilateral red eye and history of chickenpox disease. Examination revealed nodular episcleritis of both eyes. After treatment with topical steroids, the disease was subsided. Varicella-Zoster virus is a rare cause of episcleritis. In this case it seems that the mechanism of involvement is immune-related, rather than direct tissue involvement by virus.
RESUMO
Resumo A paciente é uma menina de 10 anos de idade, com queixa principal de olho vermelho bilateral recente e história de doença da catapora. O exame revelou episclerite nodular de ambos os olhos. Após o tratamento com esteróides tópicos, a doença foi diminuída. O vírus varicela-zoster é uma causa rara de episclerite. Neste caso, parece que o mecanismo de envolvimento é imuno-relacionado, ao invés de envolvimento direto do tecido pelo vírus.
