[Eales disease and tuberculous allergy].

The authors report the case of a 25-year-old woman who presented unilateral Eales disease associated with biologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis. The patient, from a family with a history of tuberculosis, showed a painless and abrupt decrease in visual acuity of the right eye with venous and arterial vasculitis. Fluorescein angiography confirmed the existence of peripheral ischemia and vascular abnormalities. The biological exam showed a positive PPD and the BK was isolated. Antibiotic and corticosteroid drugs were used in the treatment. The clinical, immunopathological and therapeutic aspects of this disease are discussed.

[Retinal detachment in children].

During the period January 1985-June 1990, 333 cases of retinal detachment were operated. Thirty cases (9%) were children aged between 5 to 15 years. Retinal detachment was due to developmental abnormalities: myopia, retinoschisis, inherited cataract and glaucoma in 71.4%. Ocular trauma was found in 28.5%. Peripheral vitreoretinal degenerations were found in 82.8%. Reattachment of the retina was achieved in 77.1% of cases. Best visual acuity was 0.4 or better in 40.7% of eyes.

[Treatment of vernal conjunctivitis with aspirin].

The authors have made a study on 67 cases of vernal keratoconjunctivitis during 4 years (1984-1988). These cases were treated by aspirin by oral route, at the rate of 25 to 50 mg/kg. Aspirin and corticoïds make functional signs disappear and make clinical signs decrease. The efficacy of aspirin is better than the efficacy of corticoïds as far as side-effects as extension of the bull period are concerned.
