Abstract
Blepharitis is a chronic inflammatory process of the eyelid margin that fluctuates in severity with periods of exacerbations and remissions. Burning sensation, irritation, tearing, photophobia, blurred vision and red eyes are the common symptoms associated. Blepharitis has been categorized into anterior and posterior blepharitis. Blepharitis can coexist with various dermatological conditions, and the patients may present with a wide array of signs and symptoms. Various types of blepharitis can often be differentiated on the basis of the appearance of the eyelid margins. Blepharitis is difficult to manage due to uncertain etiology and considerable overlap of symptoms that adds to its misdiagnosis. We present a typical case of ulcerative blepharitis in a child with atopic dermatitis, to highlight the association of candidiasis as the cause of ulcerative type of blepharitis in atopics.
