Rubella virus-associated necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with extensive eyelid, ocular, and orbital involvement

Abstract

We present a case of cutaneous granulomatous disease associated with rubella virus in a 4-year-old girl without an identifiable immunodeficiency. In this case, a combination of anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-neutrophil therapies successfully treated vision-threatening eyelid, conjunctival, scleral, and orbital inflammation.
