Parino Eye-Gland Syndrome

Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome (POGS): In cat scratch disease, a small number of children (approximately 6%) have this syndrome, which is caused by swelling of the parotid gland with binding due to ocular granulomatosis or anterior ear lymphadenopathy Meningitis. Carithers (1978) reported 14 cases of atypical cat scratch disease with this syndrome, and emphasized the characteristics of granulomatous lesions. Red to yellow nodules were seen at the eyelid conjunctival membrane of 2 to 3 mm, even larger than 1 cm. . Eye symptoms may be caused by Hansebaton body directly or indirectly entering the eyelid. This syndrome is a self-limiting infectious disease with a good prognosis. Parino eye-gland syndrome may also be caused by tuberculosis, rabbit fever, inguinal lymphogranuloma, and syphilis. However, the recent detection of Hanseba's body-specific DNA by serological tests and PCR technology has confirmed that the syndrome is The most common form of atypical cat scratch disease.
