Sepsis in ocular adnexa secondary to Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Regarding a case

Abstract

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas correspond to a heterogeneous group of malignant hematolymphoid neoplasms. Infections with strains of P. aeruginosa can be life-threatening, and the immunosuppression suffered by patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma makes them vulnerable to infection by opportunistic pathogens; For this reason, a case was presented with the objective of describing the appearance of sepsis of the ocular adnexa in a 7-year-old patient with a personal pathological history of large B cell lymphoma who presented eyelid necrosis due to Pseudomonaaeruginosa and was evaluated by the emergency department. Oculoplasty at the ArnaldoMilian Castro hospital in Santa Clara. The lesions are the result of perivascular bacterial invasion of arteries and veins in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues, which produces necrotizing vasculitis, which secondarily causes a decrease in blood flow, with subsequent ischemia of the epidermis and dermis, alteration in the phases of healing and inhibition of the migration of granulocytes to the site of injury and significant delay in the normal healing process. The pathogenesis of opportunistic ocular infections also depends on immunity and the anatomical, physiological and biochemical structure of the invaded eye. Ocular immunity involves the interaction between local and systemic components, with great differences in the induction of the immune response in each of the ocular compartments.
