Parinaud's Oculoglandular Syndrome
Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome is a potential complication of Cat Scratch Fever that affects the eyes and lymph glands of the face and neck. The eye itself looks red, much like it does in conjunctivitis or pink eye. It feels irritated and may cause pain. There may be an infection of the retina.
In response to the infection, the lymph nodes on the face in front of the ear typically swell and are tender. Fever may also be a symptom of this infection.4’Cat Scratch Disease.’ Johns Hopkins Medicine. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/cat-scratch-disease
