RESUMO
PURPOSE: To report a case of ocular manifestations after a primary varicella infection. METHODS: Review of the literature and a case report of a 10-year-old male patient with history of blurry vision and an enlarged pupil 2 months after a varicella infection. Examination revealed uveitis, interstitial keratitis, and internal ophthalmoplegia. RESULTS: The uveitis resolved with topical steroids; the interstitial keratitis resolved with a faint scar, and the internal ophthalmoplegia persisted. CONCLUSION: This case report describes a patient with uncommon ocular manifestations after primary varicella.

PURPOSE: To report suspected donor-to-host transmission of Cryptococcus albidus after penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS: Review of the literature and a case report of a 69-year-old woman who underwent penetrating keratoplasty for Fuchs corneal dystrophy and developed persistent corneal infiltrates 7 months postoperatively are presented. RESULTS: Cryptococcus albidus was cultured from the original donor tissue at the time of the repeat keratoplasty. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates an unusual case of cryptococcal keratitis after keratoplasty suspected to be a donor-to-host transmission.
