Ocular leprosy: a case report and discussion of the pathology.
Abstract
Although leprosy is considered rare in Australia outside the Northern Aboriginal population, its presence within Indian and Southeast Asian migrant groups must be considered. A case of ocular leprosy is presented in which the definitive diagnosis was delayed because lid changes had been diagnosed as senile ectropion. The pathology of ocular leprosy is discussed, together with relevant therapeutic considerations.
