A 5-year-old boy, with a history of fever beginning 15 days after a vaccination for measles, developed a rigid-akinetic syndrome 3 days after the fever began. A spinal tap obtained 1 week after the onset of fever showed pleocytosis with a monocellular pattern. A CT scan of the head and EEG did not disclose any abnormality. An MRI performed 3 months after the event, however, showed clear-cut evidence of bilateral substantia nigra lesions, suggesting secondary gliosis. The response to levodopa was good, but adverse reactions appeared early. The child is now 7 years old. Bromocriptine, deprenyl, and levodopa have produced a remarkable improvement of the parkinsonian features.

Cyclosporin has been used for an increasing number of ocular indications. This review attempts to put into perspective the present scope of cyclosporin use in the treatment of ophthalmic disorders. This includes a review of randomized masked trials performed to date and work done to minimize and characterize cyclosporin induced renal toxicity. In addition, the ocular surface is an ideal target for topical cyclosporin therapy, and the status of this therapeutic approach is reviewed.
