  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 22-year-old Micronesian woman presented with redness and pain in both eyes. She showed pink episcleral nodules on both sides of the exposed corneoscleral limbus. The peripheral cornea adjacent to the nodules showed diffuse opacities with punctate lipid infiltration. She had numerous nodular lesions on the face and the hands. Skin biopsy showed foamy cells and acid-fast bacilli which were identified as Mycobacterium leprae, leading to the diagnosis of lepromatous leprosy. The sclerocorneal lesions failed to respond to topical treatment with ofloxacin and betamethasone and regressed after oral treatment with diamino-diphenyl sulfone.
