Diagnosis: Acute phase of bee-sting

Image Comments:

Please refer to other Atlas photograph of this patient whose cornea was stung by a bee. The white dot at 11 o'clock of the corneal infiltrate is the stinger. The other photograph shows the final corneal scar that resulted from the cornea's struggle with this insult. In addition, the eye was involved with severe anterior uveitis as a reaction to the bee-stinger.The uveitis and active keratitis responded to removal of the stinger, atropinization of the eye, and intensive topical sreroid-antibiotic drops and ointment.
