PURPOSE: Ocular signs and symptoms that occurred in people exposed to sarin gas in a subway sarin gas attack were studied. METHODS: Among victims of sarin gas exposure, 96 were treated by us. RESULTS: Ocular signs and symptoms caused by sarin gas exposure included miosis, conjunctival injection, and ocular pain. CONCLUSIONS: Ocular signs and symptoms spontaneously resolved between three and 21 days after exposure in most cases. Treatment with 0.5% tropicamide ophthalmic solution was effective in decreasing ocular pain.
We describe the case of a patient with both pemphigus vulgaris limited to the oral cavity and ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. The diagnoses were established by means of histopathologic examination and direct and indirect immunofluorescence studies and confirmed by immunoblot analysis of serum. Treatment with dapsone resulted in a prolonged remission of the ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. The pemphigus vulgaris has remained localized to the oral cavity and has responded to sublesional corticosteroid injections.
